Chapter 7 1stGrid Tutorial
Introduction
This tutorial shows how to use Objective Grid for .NET to create a simple grid application, 1stGrid, and the product’s custom control is used in a number of ways. A Microsoft Solution file with complete source code for this tutorial’s projects is included with the distribution.
This tutorial is organized into four major projects, Steps 1-4 described below.
• Step 1—A simple Windows Forms application is created. The application contains a single, main form containing a Objective Grid for .NET grid control.
• Step 2—An MDI grid application is created. The application contains a menu system, and allows for a number of grid editing functions.
• Step 3—A property grid is added to the grid application from Step 2. This shows how to modify the properties for a grid control at run time.
• Step 4—Formula Engine support is added to the grid application from Step 3. Grid events are handled to initialize the grid and to validate cell data.
