When bound to a Data control, MSFlexGrid displays read-only data.Adaptation to existing Visual Basic code for the data-bound grid (DBGrid).dbgrid is A spreadsheet-like bound control that displays a series of rows and columns representing records and fields from a Recordset object.The data grids are bound controls; that is, they require a data source that actually connects to a database and retrieves their data.
