Congratulations to your eGrid ! Seems to be very good!
I was recommended to use your eGrid, because I want to put a ProgressbarGadget() into a ListIcongadget().
But when I visited your website, I discovered, that eGrid is not free.
Did I understand it right?
Yes that's right.
This is the only thing released to this community which I've asked for some kind of recompense for. I have explained my reasons for doing so somewhere in this thread (probably page 1), but, in a nutshell; I am now working for myself, i.e. self-employed and whilst I did not ever intend to make egrid a commercial product, it has taken over a year to progress it this far and it is now consuming a lot of my time simply to keep abreast of all the requests and updates etc.
The price of £7-50 is some considerable way below that which I will charge for non-Purebasic users (when I convert the library to a dll) and, if you look around at other commercial grids, you'll see just how much cheaper it is!
As I say, I don't really feel comfortable charging this community, but the alternative is that I would be forced to let this project die. Also, there are several free -and open source- grid controls floating around and so mine is not the only choice. At the end of the day, egrid will live or die depending upon its worth to those who would make use of it etc.
Of course, if someone such as a cash-strapped student (

) desperately needed egrid for a non-commercial project, then I'd probably relent (with the promise that once the said student had got a job selling oil rigs and such like, they'd remember my generosity!)
Hope this helps.
I may look like a mule, but I'm not a complete ass.
