Scot,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posting.
As for checking with the government contracting officer,
about the use of third-party tools -I already did. I started
the project using the Ultimate Grid Control, and that's
when the government contracting officer informed me that
I had to remove the third-party code. Yes, the code restriction
really does apply!
I will post the question on a different news group.
JC, I did a little googling; it seems Visual Basic is what installs the
control, so if you only have Visual C++ as opposed to Visual Studio (with
Visual Basic) installed, this may be why you don't have the ActiveX control
registered. Also, there is more than one 'grid' control - there is the
FlexGrid which can show any data, and DataGrid which must be bound to a
database (but if that is the case, apparently the performance is much better
than the FlexGrid). I vaguely remember that the Data Grid was only included
in the higher-end Visual Basic installations (like Enterprise), but I am not
sure.
Anyway, once the control is registered, it should appear in the ActiveX
controls that you can put into the Visual C++ toolbox.
Before switching, I would just compile the Ultimate Grid control into the
project (don't use a separate library), and then submit it for evaluation
again. If the code is built directly into your project, I don't see how
they can call it 'third party' code since it is just MFC classes that you
have 'typed in', but then again, since it is the government, I have learned
nothing is too illogical for them.
Cheers,
David
