The grid looked and behaved reasonably well for that application but had some limitations and it was difficult to modify the grid as it had been written. I first encountered BABYGRID in 2004 or 2005 and used it in an Engineering Automated Test application I wrote for the QA department where I worked.

It turned out to be somewhat more work than I anticipated but take it all together it was an enjoyable hobby project, somewhere along the way I even began to feel like a coder again! Background It's been a while since I published anything new and I was ready for a challenge and so decided it was time to tackle BABYGRID by fixing some known deficiencies and adding a few features. Now let's face it, it's a sad state of affairs if that is all one has to choose from for use in a Win32/64 C based application. The second is my own adaptation of the List view which I initially published in 2009 Win32 SDK Data Grid View Made Easy which better fit my needs at the time than Mr. The first from back in 2002 is Win32 Grid Control with Low Overhead (BABYGRID) by David Hillard. Usually (s)he will be referred to one or both of two published projects. Periodically a C programmer will ask around the web for a grid that can be used in a non-MFC project.
