ZeeGrid has been made by David Hillard and is completely free.

The DDL and the C header (ZeeGrid.h) are available on his web site :

http://www.kycsepp.com

For those of you that would like to test ZeeGrid with PowerBASIC and/or FireFly you will find below ZeeGrid.inc (my translation of the ZeeGrid.h); I hope there is no error.

I will try to create a .ctl file in order to have it fully integrated within FireFly.

Regards,
Jean-Pierre

PS: the ZeeGrid.inc has been updating; thanks to Jose.

[Eddy Van Esch]

Thanks for letting us know and for your .inc file, Jean-Pierre.
Too bad there is not (yet) a complete documentation of all the Messages/Commands.

Kind regards
Eddy

Sounds very cool indeed. If someone has a few screenshots of this in action it would be very nice indeed if one can have a visual idea of what this looks like!
People creating cool controls for both Powerbasic and Firefly are great to have around for those of us who cant make them ourselves!

[José Roca]

The translation of the ZGNOTIFYSTRUCT structure is incorrect. It must be:

Code: [Select]

' // Size = 28 bytes
Type ZGNOTIFYSTRUCT DWORD
ZGHeader  As NMHDR
ZGControl As Byte
ZGShift   As Byte
ZGAlt     As Byte
ZGvKey    As Long
End Type

Thank you Jose.

I've just uploaded a corrected version of ZeeGrid.inc

Eddy, for your information David Hillard has just published complete documentation about ZeeGrid's messages and notifications.

Petrus, for your information I've translated into PowerBASIC DDT code a C demo that David Hillard sent me.

The PowerBASIC DDT code is here:

http://forum.powerbasic.com/forum/user-to-user-discussions/third-party-addons/29100-zeegrid-any-experience?p=747001#post747001

I will prepare a PowerBASIC SDK demo as well as a FireFly demo

[Paul Squires]

Thanks Jean-Pierre,

I am going to work on a FreeBasic version as well. Nice to have another option for Grid controls. Maybe this grid will allow me not to have to finish the one that I started to create.

[José Roca]

But apparently it's only 32-bit, isn't it?

[Paul Squires]

Yes, it may very well be only 32-bit. It appears that Jean-Pierre has been in contact with the author. I wonder if the author will also compile the source for 64-bit.

[Paul Squires]

Attached is a simple FreeBasic FireFly project showing a demo of the grid.

[Jean-pierre Leroy]

@Paul
Thank you for the demo with FreeBASIC

@Jose, @Paul
I've just sent an email to David Hillard asking him if he can compile a 64 bits version of ZeeGrid.DLL.

[Jean-pierre Leroy]

@Paul,

I saw this line of code in the FreeBASIC demo:

Code: [Select]

SendMessage hWndControl, ZGM_SETCELLTEXT, 1, Cast(LPARAM, @("First" & Chr(13) & "Column"))

How do you translate this line of code in PowerBASIC (my question is on the Cast operator) ?

[José Roca]

> How do you translate this line of code in PowerBASIC (my question is on the Cast operator) ?

You can't. You have to fill a variable and pass the address of the string text (VARPTR for ASCIIZ, STRPTR for STRING)

[José Roca]

Sorry, but I'm not going to use it. I have made a test and isn't adequate for High DPI applications.
