Using VSFlexGrid in Visual C++

The VSFlexGrid control can be used in Visual C++ as well as in Visual Basic.

This part of the manual was written to help experienced C++ programmers get started using the VSFlexGrid control in VC++. If you don't know C++, MFC, or ATL, you may skip this section, as it probably won't make much sense to you.

Until recently, using ActiveX controls in Visual C++ meant you had to use the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) framework, because this was the only reasonable way to get the ActiveX hosting capabilities and Wizard support most programmers want. With the release of Microsoft Visual Studio 6, however, this situation has changed. You can now use ATL (Active Template Library) and native compiler support for COM to create projects that do not depend on MFC. In fact, even if your project is based on MFC you should take advantage of the native COM support to improve the performance of your applications.
