Re: Grid from TexBoxes is Slow

I guess the DataGridViews only look like rows and rows of textboxes,
when the Grid has an active cell it dynamically creates the correct
control( eg TextBox ) and postions it on top and infront of the cell.

I don't have a grid handy at the minute but WinSpy++ should confirm
this.....

Surely the shortcut to speeding up your grid is to replace it with a
DataViewGrid!

Subject: Grid from TexBoxes is Slow

I've build a prototype custom grid using rows of TextBox controls, but
it's
quite slow.  Now if I use a DataGridView, with all my columns as textbox
columns, I imagine all the cells are textboxes as well, and that grid
has
huge amounts more functionality than mine.  So, I believe I can greatly
improve the speed of my grid, still using the textbox approach, but I
haven't a clue how.  Some advice would be great.



A question that keeps cropping up in my thoughts is, do I continue
delegating the drawing of borders to the individual textboxes, or do I
draw
the grid independently, and place borderless textboxes in the cells.  Is
there even much of a difference?
