Saving Data in MsFlexgrid (VB6)

10/27/2010 5:56 AM

I am being a bit lazy here and after posting this question will try and seek the answer.

I have a form with 7 tabs (SSTab) and on each tab there is a MsFlexgrid consisting of 27 rows of 32 colums. This is a timesheet listing names and time from 08:00 to 10:00.

I want to be able to save this data and then reload when the program starts.

My initial thought is

Pseudocode:

for tab = 0 to 6
for row = 0 to 26
for column =1 to 31
save data

followed by the respective Nexts.

I am looking to see if there is an alternative to this like

for i = 0 to 6
Save MsFlexgrid array(i)
Next

Your comments and guidance is appreciated

Tony

From a quick look around with the object browser, each flexgrid has a TextMatrix associated with it (2D - cells are accessed by (r,c) subscripts) and a TextArray (single subscript). It looks at first sight as if they are equivalent (i.e. share the same memory space). I havent looked any further - but I'd imagine you should be able to use one or other of these.

Good luck.

while we are being a bit lazy here... this would probably be simpler to build and maintain inside excel, using vba. (and you won't have to build the cell functionality)

just realize that every computer you want to install your app on will have to have the vb dll's installed too. (using flexgrid)
