This makes it fast and possible to handle any number of rows and columns (ListBox is limited to 255 columns, BTW). And it doesn’t store the data for you - instead, you have to implement the CellPaint event where you’d draw your text.

The plugin control is similar to a Listbox Control, with the extra feature that each row’s height can be individually specified (ListBoxes only let you choose the column sizes individually).

It’s based on a GridControl, again written in plain Xojo code (no plugins used). It’s written in plain REALbasic / Xojo code (runs on 2012r2.1 and later). It uses the MBS LibXL plugin (requires a separate purchase) but no other MBS plugins. There’s currently no editing, so it’s mainly about showing Excel sheets as closely as possible to how Excel shows them. I’m writing a tool for comparing Excel files, similarly to how my Arbed tool works for comparing Xojo projects.
