Is the MLG included with FF not the trail version?

[Barry Marks]

It just occurred to me that this might be the registered version and not the trial version since the other two grids say they're trials.  Is this the real thing?  I just bought MLG to use with this.  Do I now have 2 of them?

When I right-click on it the properties says "MyLittleGrid Demo".

I don't use MLG in my applications so I assume that it is the correct version. The files included in the FF3 files are the same files that James Klutho emailed to me on November 1, 2009.

Also, even if it was the registered version then there is another protection builtin that must be called prior to the grid function correctly. You would have been advised of that special call upon registration. Only registered users would know how to activate the grid.

The MLG included with MLG is the demo version.  You should download MLG.zip from

http://www.planetsquires.com/mylittlegrid.html

and unlock the zip file with the password you got from the Regsoft email.  Take the MLG.DLL file from that zip file and replace the MLG.DLL (which is the demo version) file in Custom Controls\James Klutho folder (which is in the Firefly Program folder) with your the new MLG.DLL.  There is a text file in the zip file which gives unlocking instructions for MLG which will prevent an X from displaying on the grid.  I commonly put the unlocking command in the CREATE handler of the MLG control within Firefly.  By the way, an X will appear on the grid in design mode since the unlocking command is not performed until after your program is compiled.

Thank you.  I did download the registered version and all is well.  I just wasn't sure if I already had it and didn't realize it till too late.  Glad to know it wasn't for nothing.

Were is the CREATE handler in FF 3.56?

I put the unlocking call right after I create the grid (when I create the grid via code). If you use FF to create the control at design time, then you can put the unlocking code in the WM_CREATE of the Form where your grid is located.
