    Excel like control

    Do you know if there is some Excel like control, like a 2-dimensional listbox? Preferably with editable fields (the user should be able to edit them).

    Couldn't you just use a listbox? And yes that is actually a control I can't think of its name off-hand (i haven't used them before) but I do believe it is a grid control. If i'm wrong on what kind of control it is I know someone will correct me.

    A listbox is simply a list, and as far as I know the user can't manually edit the items.
    What I want is pretty much a listbox, but with two columns. The left one uneditable (read only) and the right one editable. I doubt you can do this with a listbox.

    Perhaps I could use two listboxes side by side, and somehow (read: how?) synchronise their scrolling (scroll one, and the other one will scroll too). But the user still can't edit the items himself.

    I have also thought of using a TreeView, since I know there is such a control. Does anyone know any tutorial on it. Preferable in C, since I don't like control-classes .

    try a listview ("SysListView32" in the create window functions).

    with LVS_EDITLABELS and LVS_REPORT

    Will have to insert your own columns ect with macros like ListView_InsertColumn()
