Chris Maunder's grid control

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/gridctrl.aspx

or Ultimate Grid

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/MFC/UltimateGrid.aspx

are much better.

That;s correct. The header files are created in your source directory as a consequence of
inserting an ActiveX control into your project. If you just hand-edit some files, this
doesn't happen, and you won't get any of the correct headers defined.

But I would recommend avoiding the horror that is MSFlexGrid.

A well-thought-of grid control is the one on www.codeproject.com. The Dundas grid control
has been released as open source (I've used it and liked it). There are many others.

Huh? I distinctly thought I was recommending a 3rd-party solution...
