I agree its not a simple control to use and it is very advanced, but the reason its not simple is there is virtually no documentation. Help topics that don't give examples of how to use a function, with links to other topics without examples. The help file has the same topics repeated over and over for every control that shares the functions with absolutely no difference in the content except for the "See also".

The *art* of computer programming is not copy and paste based. lol, nothing in the help to even reference, much less copy and paste. I guess you think the *art* of programming is trial and error for hours when a simple example would have explained it in 2 seconds.

Open their help file and you will see how much effort went into it, how hard is it to compile a help file and set it to remember its last windows size? Instead theirs opens up in the tiny preset size they think we should all be crammed into.

I know writing help takes almost as much time as the code but come on, hire somebody part time to improve your help why don't you or have somebody spend an hour a week on it, how expensive could it be?

This all being said CJ does make some fine control, but like I said it will take you much longer than it should to do anything due to poor documentation.

IMHO CJ's help is one of the best around (try to find something in the MS Excel help ... its worse than the CJ one). The sample code is enough to do the job.

I agree RC is not a simple control to use. This is due (imho) to the continue patching and because it's designed to do data entry and report in the same control (utopia!).

Maybe other controls (commandbar, panel and some controls) are more refined but even RC is good.

I was looking for some actual sample code, which is very sparse in the Codejock help files but never mind I decided to use another control for what I was doing. Codejock controls are nice if you can get them to work but due to very poor help files with very little sample code it usually takes you a lot of extra time to do anything with codejock.

ReportControl: Use above code

PropertyGrid: wndPropertyGrid.EditItem wndPropertyGrid.FindItem(ID_OF_ITEM), True '(or False)

Hi,

You mean edit item by code?

Me.wndReportControl.Navigator.MoveToRow 1
Me.wndReportControl.Navigator.MoveFirstColumn
Me.wndReportControl.Navigator.BeginEdit

Will move position to second row and FIRST "cell" and start edit

if not you have to explain your question a little better
