Grid and histogram controls for Windows implemented in Forth
N. J. Nelson, Chester D. Eng · 2000
Grid controls are used extensively for presenting tabular data in Windows applications. A wide variety of third-party grid controls are readily available, but none were quite suitable for the application we required. Graphical controls are also available, but again, none quite fitted the bill. Finally we plucked up courage and wrote our own controls. This paper will outline some of the code design, and illustrate the use of the controls in an application. The code is in MPE ProForth for Windows.
