I'm not sure if you're looking for a VBX or 16-bit or 32-bit
OCX, but take a good look at Apex's products. I use their
TrueGrid VBX all the time. Their OCXes (True DBGrid) are
basically enhancements of the ones that come with VB4. (Or,
more likely, the ones that come with VB4 are crippled versions
of theirs). Take note that you don't have to use these bound;
there is an unbound mode, but it's backwards from what you
might think; you use an event that fires for each cell to
populate them. Once you get used to that, it's very
flexible...
