egrid 4 grid gadget - (static PB library version.)

Any News?
DLL version? and so on?

Nope!

The lack of callback facilities in certain other languages stopped me developing the dll.

I must admit that I'm heavily involved in other projects at the moment and don't have a great deal of time for much of anything else - including sleep!

30th March 2007.

A small bug causing the #egrid_InsertChar message to not be sent under certain circumstances has been fixed.

Also, I'll post a separate announcement later, but a dll version of the egrid library is now available. All current owners of the static PB library will qualify for a free update to include the dll. However, the dll version does operate differently where string handling is concerned than the PB static library - so beware!

egrid wrappers for Aurora and Emergence Basic are in hand, but I'm looking for anyone able to create wrappers for various other languages; RealBasic and Powerbasic in particular (and any others deemed appropriate!) The deal would be a percentage of the income generated etc. (sale price of the dll will be in the region of £15 etc.)

Please pm if you're interested, but first come, first serve!

The dll will be released when I've adjusted the help manual etc. A few hours work.

Beta testers required!

Hi, this is a request for a couple of testers. I have one kind soul, but a few more would be nice.

Basically a major update is under way, primarily focused upon being able to allow the user to select a range of cells and then offer full clipboard support etc.

At the moment, if all is well, I have about another day's work to complete this. The current beta allows full cell selection of a single rectangular array of cells through the keyboard (mouse control to follow next) and then the usual combination of ctrl-c, ctrl-x, ctrl-v etc. All clipboard operations can be prohibited through a CellCallback (with the #egrid_Clipboard message).

This addition has been such a 'shock' to the the egrid code that I have been fixing bugs for what seems like an age now. I need to find the remaining bugs and this seems to be the right time. None of the remaining work should break the existing code base, all breakages should already be lurking within the depths!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Please pm me and I'll send what I have at the moment. I'm looking for five or six more kind souls.

Thanks.

Don't forget: ctrl-Ins, shift-ins, shift-del

PS: I'm testing all the time egrid (3 programs with a lot of egrid's)

Huh?

What are these key combinations supposed to do? To be honest I reckon I now have enough keyboard control etc.

shift-INS = copy
shift-DEL = cut
crtl-INS = paste

Yuk!

Not for me, I'll stick with ctrl-c etc!

Are these standard in Windows? I just thought it was CTRL C, V, etc...

egrid 5 - beta 2 ready for testing!

This version contains quite a few changes over beta version 1; some as a result of bug fixes (for which my thanks go to those who have been helping out) - other features that were just not included in version 1 etc.

The link is available to anyone able to spend a few moments testing. Those without a registration can still use the beta in a restricted capacity, although no features are disabled etc.

The help manual needs some work (a lot of broken links), but it is almost up to date. The 'history.txt' file details all the recent changes. Most of the recent work has been in implementing cell selection and associated clipboard ops, and in extending the range of CellCallback notification messages etc. Only the cursor keys can be used in multiple cell selection at present, but adding mouse control should now be quite straight forward.

Note that when the work is complete, there will be two versions of egrid (aside from the static and dynamic library versions). One, 'egrid-Lite' will be a cut down version available free of charge to PB users, but with no restrictions on the number of rows etc.
The second version is of course the full blown version which will still carry the usual price tag.

Thanks again.

I don't know, but I use it since Win 3.1 (and OS/2).

Hello Srod,

Is there a way to use egrid to show data without giving the possibility to modify the shown data?
