what are the three main differences between flexgrid control and dbgrid(Data bound Grid) control..

Answer / guest

The Microsoft FlexGrid (MSFlexGrid) control displays and
operates on tabular data.
It allows complete flexibility to sort, merge, and format
tables containing strings and pictures.
When bound to a Data control, MSFlexGrid displays read-only
data.Adaptation to existing Visual Basic code for the data-
bound grid (DBGrid).

dbgrid id A spreadsheet-like bound control that displays a
series of rows and columns representing records and fields
from a Recordset object.

The data grids are bound controls; that is, they require a
data source that actually connects to a database and
retrieves their data. And it seems that the root of the
problem with DBGrid is that there's no data source that can
be readily included along with the DBGrid control.
In Visual Basic, the solution is simply to include the Data
Control on the same form as DBGrid.
But the Data Control is an intrinsic control; it's
unavailable to anything outside of the Visual
Basic environment itself.

and VB 6.0 has a new set of data controls (DataGrid,
DataList, DataCombo, MSHFlexGrid, MSFlexGrid)
that once again are bound controls. Unlike DBGrid, though,
they support OLE DB, and therefore rely on the an ADO Data
Source (and in particular the ActiveX Data Objects Data
Control, or ADO DC) for data access. Unlike the Data
Control, the ADO DC is a custom control (that is, an .OCX)
that can be added to any project. In short, if you add ADO
DC to your project along with the DataGrid control.
