EsGRID grid gadget 2.1. Don't post here!

Hi Vladi,

if you're developing in Purebasic then you are far better off using the static library version, which is also cheaper. With this you obviously need not concern yourself with this licensing question etc.

However, with the dll you can deploy it to as many client machines as required by whatever application you have developed etc.

Regards.

It's compatible with PB 4.20b? I'm using 4.20 to use internal FTP commands but, esgrid give me a PB_MID error

Thank you Srod for this great lib

(and sorry for my bad english)

Thank you gnozal. I am very lost of the forum in the last months.

Hi zikitrake,

yes, if you look at the EsgRID download page, you'll note that under PB 4.2 it does say 'coming soon'. I've done this bascially because as soon as I switch to PB 4.2 versions of EsGRID, then I will not be supporting the PB 4.1 user library versions from that point onwards.

If you're desperate for a PB 4.2 version then I'll sort it out later today.

Many thanks!, don't worry; is not urgent. I can update other sections of my program and leave the ftp for later.

Very thank you for this lib

I don't use this any longer, but if you use PureBasic you owe it to yourself to buy esgrid. The best grid control out there!

hehe, how much is that I owe you now Brice?

Will you take a cheque?

In all seriousness, I am not blowing Sunshine up Srod's butt. From VB3 to VB6, I have owned every commercially available grid control I could find. Prices ranging from $9.99 to $299.99. None were as feature-rich as esgrid.

I would settle for PowerBASIC code/examples for the DLL version

I no longer have Powerbasic installed on my system and so I can't help you out there I'm afraid.

All I can say is that, if you attempt a wrapper, make sure that all integer parameters are signed. Shouldn't make a difference except when creating a wrapper for Emergence Basic we came across this problem. Inadvertently using usigned 32-bit values caused major problems. Also, you need to use null-terminated strings rather than OLE strings etc.

With this in mind, a wrapper shouldn't prove too difficult. (Famous last words!) Indeed the new grid I'm working on is primarily intended to be used in the form of a dll only. This will avoid new versions of PB breaking the user libraries etc.

I'm on it!

**EDIT - will have to wait as PB 4.2 beta 2 will not run on my system - the compiler will not load.

I really apreciate your work. Your lib is indispensable in my work programs

(And, again, sorry for my english

)

No apology necessary; your English puts my Spanish to shame - despite the fact that my surname is Spanish / Portuguese!

Update. EsGRID version 1.2.3 - 28 Jan 2008.
Added a version for Purebasic 4.2.

Note that having added this version to the download page I no longer intend to support versions of EsGRID for PB 4.1. This does not effect the dll versions of the EsGRID library.

IMPORTANT:
Because the SubSytem subfolders have changed a little, please ensure that you COMPLETELY UNINSTALL any previous versions of the EsGRID library before installing the new one. In particular, remove any EsGRID files from the SubSytems etc.

Regards.
