| Overview > VSFlexGrid Controls |
The ComponentOne VSFlexGrid 8.0 package consists of two ActiveX controls:
A powerful, full-featured grid. It provides new ways to display, edit, format, organize, summarize, and print tabular data. VSFlexGrid gives you several choices of data binding: ADO/OLEDB, DAO, bind to 2-D or 3-D arrays, to other VSFlexGrid controls, create your own data source classes, or use the grid in unbound mode. It will read and write grids to a compressed binary file or to a text file (compatible with Microsoft Access and Excel). VSFlexGrid provides all the basics plus advanced features such as outline trees, sorting, cell merging, masked editing, translated combo and image lists, and automatic data aggregation.
A flexible regular expression engine. It features pattern matching as well as regular expression text matching. VSFlexString's automatic replace capability immediately replaces all matches with the new assigned string. Tag matching capabilities determine which parts of the string matched what parts of the pattern.
