• Load the dynamic contents/data and save or export as a static file.
• Load and manipulate the data from both the database and the unbound sources such as files and office applications etc.
• Data can simultaneously be loaded from the data source, edited (manually or through program code) and arranged (sort, reorder etc.) without affecting the database.
• Vista Grid can be simultaneously bounded to multiple and diverse data sources. It is capable of calling the remote server side procedures and user defined code.
• Tabular data can also be handled along with images, charts etc.
• The user can process the data, use it like an excel spreadsheet and store the official documents in our .CEL format or export to other formats.
• It can also be used as a front end to databases and SQL Enterprise Management or DB Browser.
• It supports complete Event handling routines to perform specialized tasks.
• All the properties, methods and events supported by the Vista Grid can also be programmed by the developers.
• Vista Grid also supports the virtual grid implementation that provides it a processing speed approx. 50 times faster than the MSFlex Grid or the MSHFlex Grid for large data.
• The developer is allowed to use the full capability of the development environment such as that of VB’s IDE. Thus the developer can build upon and even enhance the functionality of Vista Grid as per his requirements.
• Vista Grid ActiveX component can be used in a web browser and provides support for some additional cell types (such as a hyperlink) and methods (such as Http Download File, Http Open File, Http Load From XML etc.)

Provides comprehensive functions such as Export to XML, HTML and Excel workbook (no need of Excel runtime support), Import from XML, Print, Preview, Sort, Generate Charts, Merge Cells, use Virtual grids etc.

Integrated Printing

You can print the contents through a single statement. You have complete control over paper orientation, margins, page breaks, and dialog box to let the user select and set up the printer. You can also add repeating header rows.

Well-designed Object Model

It provides 13 classes: Cell, Chart, Calendar, Column, Combo Box, Images, Page Break, Page Setup, Range, Selection, Field Set, Record Set and Connection. The Excel-like standard object model makes the development more efficient!

Masked Editing

Input templates can be specified to automatically control and validate text input & minimize data entry errors. It provides following input templates: None, Letter, Upper, Lower, Digital and Numeric.

Enhanced Cell Editing

It uses simple text editing, drop-down lists, date pickers, check boxes, cell buttons, masks, and advanced data validation to control the editing process. For example, you can use an input mask to provide a template that automatically validates data as your users type, or choose to prevent users from editing specific columns altogether.

Bound or unbound or mixed mode and custom data sources

It can be used in bound mode, where it displays data from an ADO data source, or in unbound mode, where the grid itself manages the data. The grid also supports a very useful functionality of mixed mode that initially allows the user to bind to a data source and then renders full control to the user at runtime. You're in charge of everything thereafter: creating a virtual grid, binding the grid to existing data sources, using calculated "virtual" fields, performing data validation or loading data on demand.

Excel-like Charting

You can create multiple types of chart in the grid: Column Clustered, Line, Pie, 3D Column Clustered, 3D Line and 3D Pie.

Excel-like Cell Merging

You can merge contiguous cells, making them span multiple rows or columns freely. Cell merging can be used to create merged table headers, merged data views etc.

Supports Very Large Data

VistaGrid supports a maximum of 10,000,000 (10 million) rows and 10,000,000 (10 million) columns for each instance.

Clipboard Operation

The grid content can be copied, cut and pasted freely, and the contents can be copied and pasted to and from other software such as Excel, Notepad, etc.

Comprehensive Documentation

The documentation includes the Help and a complete set of ‘VB6’ sample code, helping you to learn the usage of this magic tool quickly.
