    Embedding Objects into Picture Controls

    I have a problem. I'm using Objective Grid 7.0, it is basically like an excel type control to display and manipulate data in a tabular format. Well, I have a property sheet set up with 2 property pages. On one of the property pages is where I display the Grid and eventually can click on it, scroll through the cells, input numbers via keyboard, etc. Now, I embed this Grid in a picture control(the picture control kinda acts like a placemat for it), the only problem is that I cannot do anything with the Grid! I cannot scroll, I cannot input data into it.

    I suspect it has something to do with having the Grid having Focus or Active state or something like that, but even when I set those properties it still doesnt do anything. Anybody have any suggestions

    m_wndGrid.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_GRIDHOLDER, this);

    This is the member that I use to assign the Grid to the picture control.

    Anybody have any suggestions?

    make sure the grid is the 'top most' control in the z-order. That is the picture control is not 'covering' it. Check to see if the picture is getting msg's or the grid.

    Try SetWindowPos() on the grid using HWND_TOPMOST with (SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE)

    Also make sure the dialog / window is the grids parent (not the picture frame).
