DataGrid with ADO

[leogrimberg]

Help me ! . I'm trying to use ADO DataGrid control in VC++ and I can´t find the way of formating each column (header, length, etc.).
The control properties only let me set two columns.

i am assuming that you are using the ms grids that come with the vc++ package. if so you may be in a bit of trouble as i have found a number of bugs and limitations. as far as formaatting you may have to do that yourself outside the control, e.g. something like the following would format a number to 2 decimal places:

double x;
CString s;

x = 123.4567;
s = s.Format("%6.2f",x);
DBGrid1.SetRow(1);
DBGrid1.SetCol(1);
DBGrid1.SetText(s);

you would have to go throught the conversion from string to double to get data out of a grid cell.

you can use the columnheader.add and set the width and title. But, you have to do it after you set the datasource of the grid

If u are using VC 6,
u can try use Active X of
ADO data control, and OLE DataGrid
this only available in vc6

I am not working on it.
