Hello:
I want to create my own grid. I am slowly making progress. I have decided that I need my own scrollbar control.
It appears that a combination of Image controls will do what I need -- but do you have some other ideas? -- but I have not worked with VFP graphics.
Now, I need to define some icons/images. What software do you recommend for creating these at the pixel level? I would like to be able to duplicate the appearance (colourwise) so I would like to be able to pick the colours off existing VFP controls (especially scrollbars) as well.
One issue that I am concerned with is being able to have a scrollbar stretched and still look good. How does one stretch an Image properly?
Is there anything you think I am not considering but should?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
Hi There are several Custom made scrollcontainers around, Google for it. The most sofisticated for me is made by Carlos Aliotti but also Graig Boyd made a very good working class. For graphic in VFP you cant work without GDIplus, check Cesar Chaloms blog for Some inventive procedures. Regards Koen

I want to create my own grid
WHY, just WHY?
Haven't yet found a problem for which I would need a homegrown grid. What can't you do in VFP's native grid, in combination with the excellent container hierarchy which you could add into any / every column of a grid? Build a set of controls, save them as class, add that class to the Column, change Column.CurrentControl to point to that class, set Column.Sparse to .F. and presto, you can do any complicated setup and stil have the benefits of VFP's native gridspeed.

If memory serves me right he must be at it for at least 15 years. !😉
