MFC-OWC interaction. Thanks Mike for the prompt reply. I did find your reply useful. Switched to VB environment and found that it is easy to use in VB.NET. We however may have license and compatibility issues with Office and its web components to be installed at client 's machines for this program. So, we are planning to go with Farpoint's spread which only needs a design time license and nothing else - with a huge documentation on its usage in C++ environment. I found the VB code worked for me but using same to similar code in MFC did not work for me. I was able to send data to the control but changing color was not intuitive from C++. Overall, I thought Active-X controls are supposed to be plug-n-play unfortunately they are in some languages of MS and not others with zero documentation on its usage except in VB, I am not impressed. Thanks for your help. Mike.

I have found this website closer to what I am looking for: I really need your help: Can anybody on this forum give me examples or suggestions for applying this Spreadsheet control or OWC embedding - I am open to receiving example suggestions in any language at this point... What I am looking for- is basically embedding it into MFC app. in a dialog (I have come this far with some simple manipulations, I am able to control this control) 1. display data cell by cell- 2. enable some cells for users to enter and 3. enable some features of copy-paste as in Excel but a grid like view is what is needed. Your help is greatly appreciated.
