EsGrid & ExGrid

Post by C87 »

I see in the forums several discussions about EsGrid and ExGrid, which I understand to be a 3rd party grid control by srod or Stephen Rodrigues. I cannot locate in the forum or on the web any details about the supplier or their website. Does anyone know where it can be obtained?

While it was a very good solution at the time, it is Windows only.
Have a look at said's canvas based grid gadget which is cross platform.

Thanks for that Skywalk, looks like a really good starting point.
Much appreciation to Said who developed and shared this code.

For this purpose Canvas gadget-based solutions are best. The Canvas is one of the very most useful tools PureBasic has to offer. It allows you to create a gui with the graphics you design powered by any and every user-created event that is possible. Microsoft's Edit control handles everything and Stephen created his original grids based on this API but it has no cross-platform use at all. Make your own or leech off someone's freely-offered work, but a Canvas-based solution is the way to go as it will be fully cross-platform with no extra effort on your part. Shout out to Fred and Timo for a world-rocking gadget! These two are as good as it gets in the dev world.

Why not send a PM to srod in these forums? He still visits here.
