I'm finally doing something where a datagrid would seem to make sense. I need to be able to select which items in the database will receive a mailing, and it would seem to be easier to show them all (or the selected subset) in the scrolling list.
So I use a form datagrid, with a custom checkbox (I've gone to a 13x13 box w. 17 point arial bold and 2,1,0,0 alignment instead of checkboxes, as the bitmapped checkbox goes ougly on print), and my two fields. When I do the SELECT from the db, I'll get lines delimited by vtab, and elements of each data by tab, with my own unique ID as the index (good; I need that around!) It seems to me that I can just use this array for the pDataArray, and toss the items of it into the fields where I want them in FillinData (not withstanding the name of the argument). Is there any reason for me to change my data to a multidimensional array instead of handling it like this? (I also have a need to be able to click on a row and retrieve the ID for other operations, but that's down the road) -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
