Can we get a list of some of the functions at all? or a brief summary. I would be willing to pay for it also if it does some awesomeness

Sure, here is the list of actions. Capturing it as an image was the easiest way.

We might sell 10 copies max. That wouldn't even cover half of the time it would take to write a help file for it. It's a complex plugin with over 220 actions.

I was playing a bit with Reteset's new ActiveX plugin today, and could get a grid/spreadsheet control working in it. It certainly puts the standard Grid object to shame.



It is just unfortunate that this control is currently so expensive. I paid well for it in the past when I needed it to complete a project, but since then the price rose to $700. Ugh. On the other hand, this shows the value of a really good grid.

I owned Spread version 3 but I haven't used it in years. $700 is a bit much for a grid. We might sell UltraGrid for $499. That's a bargain . The ActiveX plugin opens up some options for sure.

well ok

but would the plugin be made avalible to a select club of users that wouldent really need a detailed help file as they aready know how the plugin works or can figure it out for themselfs from the action xml ?

id be happy to pay for the plugin with no help file

That's an option I guess.

Rizlauk,
I have a hard time making something work when I do have the help file...You are smart enough to make it work without the help file. If brain power was measured in units of light bulb wattage...I would be in the night light section----you would be 5 isles over in the super bright flood light section.

ok, now im confused!

@reteset, i think you need to contact me about this!

Rizlauk,
Maybe you could author the helpfile...Cuz I just read in another post that you are in love with a car...You'll have no quid left to purchase this plugin should you buy the car...so it seems maybe you should "barter" for this plugin....and look, you have both qualities needed...a grid expert and honest.

Now, how to manage the Misses regarding the purchase of that fancy new car...well, that will be saved for a future post.

This has advanced actions that would require detailed instructions and examples. The help file can't just be auto-generated.

Maybe somebody would write the helpfile for the plugin in exchange for a free copy. I have seen this type of arrangment in other forums. Obviously, the person writing the helpfile must be knowledgeable in the area {Grids} and also honest. It seems the number of people with the latter requirement is dwindling.

[Dermot]

ah ha, you mean UltraGrid, it is a grid....but far more advanced

@Dermot & Reteset...Why not release it ?
