PRB: DBGrid Control Not Fully Functional in VC++

Article ID: 194654

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q194654

SYMPTOMS

Certain DBGrid methods and properties that function properly when used in Microsoft Visual Basic do not work properly when the DBGrid control is inserted into a Microsoft Visual C++ project.

CAUSE

The DBGrid control is designed to work specifically in Microsoft Visual Basic. The DBGrid control utilizes functionality only exposed by Visual Basic's OLE control container.

RESOLUTION

The DBGrid control is only fully functional when used inside Microsoft Visual Basic. Instead of using the DBGrid control, you can use the Microsoft DataGrid Control 6.0 or the Microsoft FlexGrid control--these controls are not dependent on Visual Basic for their functionality.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
