>>>I am surprised, however, that you didn't use grids. How is it possible to create a windows application without a grid?

>>Grids were a pain to use back in the 1.1 days, so we did everything with ListViews. Yeah, they were a pain to use too, but not as bad or as buggy as the old DataGrid. The DataGridView is an improvement.

>Yes, in a couple of books I have on WinForm programming they mentioned many times that grid in 1.1 was not well designed. So I guess I will be the 1st to use DataGridView on this forum <g>. I have read some more stuff about binding grids in a book I have and have some new ideas. My goal is to be able to have my grids built dynamically (on instantiation of a form) from column configuration file (it will most likely be an XML file). This is how my VFP grids work, users have control of what columns are to be included in their grids.
