Hi Visual Basic students,

      I don't know why, but the Microsoft Data Bound Grid Control is NOT
available in the computer lab in Wright 112.  The FlexGrid control offers
the same functionality.

      Microsoft FlexGrid Control 6.0 can be found by right-clicking on the
toolbox toolbar and choosing components, as explained on your handout from
yesterday's class.   

      The tooltip displayed after it is on your toolbar will be:

           MSFlexGrid and the control that I made to test it out is named

           MSFlexGrid1.  I set my AllowUserResizing to 1 - flexResizeColumns,
which means the user can make the columns wider or narrower, as needed to 
display the data.  The only other property you need to set is the DataSource
property, because the MSFlexGrid control displays ALL of the data fields,
so you DO NOT have to select which field to display, as you would for a 
data bound label or data bound textbox control.

      Mark
