grid controls?

[margetts]

Hey there, just wondering if there are any built-in grid controls or what
people use.

N.B below isnt correct code (obviously) its just my mental interpretation so
you guys can understand easier

My purpose is a game, i need a grid about 12x12 'cells', i need to be able
to apply code to each 'cell' for the purpose of adding text, and reading.
e.g
cell1a.text = "R"

I also need to create a loop (that, i can do) that starts at one cell, and
then moves along the row,
e.g
cell1a.text = "" then check cell1b

and so on, and then i need to be able to move down onto the next row in the
event of a cell having information.
e.g
cell1a.text = "" then check cell1b
cell1b.text = "" then check cell1c
cell1c.text = "D" then check sell 2c

(notice in cell1c how i want it too move down?)

thanks guys i got a really good and quick respons last time good work :-D,
if u cant help me with the whole thing thats fine, - help appreciated!!

Make a simple UserControl that acts as like you want it. This
should not take an hour to program (Worst case scenario)

Try the Microsoft Hierarchical Flexgrid Control 6.0 (so named in the
components list).

This code shows how to setup a 12 x 12 grid and fill it with random
data, and should give you an idea of how to make loops that check
things, etc.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim n As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim r As Single

Randomize

With Me.MSHFlexGrid1

.FixedCols = 0
.FixedRows = 0
.Cols = 12
.Rows = 12

For n = 0 To .Cols - 1
.ColWidth(n) = 400
Next n

For n = 0 To .Cols - 1
For j = 0 To .Rows - 1
r = Rnd
If r > 0.75 Then
.TextMatrix(j, n) = "R"
End If
Next j
Next n

End With

End Sub
