Hi,

Does anybody know if there's a free grid
control somewhere with in cell editing features
and allows different full color for each cell?

MSflexgrid doesn't allow me to use color other
than system color (don't work with custom color
palette).  Unless someone can show me how to
trick MSFlexGrid to use other color palette .

Btw, It doesn't need to be databound grid. Althouh,
of course it'll do.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Hi Markus,

Thanks for replying, but
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.

I do have a graphics card capable of displaying
high color or true color. But that's not the
problem. The problem is that in 256 color mode
(only 256 color, not high/true color mode)
MSFlexGrid just won't use other color palette.

MSFlexGrid will only stick to System color
palette. (The problem will go away if you use
high color or true color, because the color palette
property will be ignored)

So for example, If you specified a custom color palette
for the color palette property on the form. Some controls
such as the Picture control will follow the forms color
palette property, allowing you to change the background
or foreground color of that control to those colors
that's available in your custom color palette.

To try this. Choose a custom color palette that's
different from your basic system color. Set the Palette
property to your custom palette and change the PaletteMode
to Custom. Then create a Picture control and a
MSFlexGrid control. Change the color of those two
control to whatever control that's in your custom palette
(but not a color available in your system color palette).

You'll see the difference, where the Picture control
will be capable to display the new color, while
MSFlexGrid will stick to basic (most likely will be
dithered) color. But you'll have to try this on
256 color mode.
