-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual C++, version 4.0 
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 5.0, 6.0 
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, versions 5.0, 6.0 
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Certain DBGrid methods and properties that function properly when used in
Microsoft Visual Basic do not work properly when the DBGrid control is inserted
into a Microsoft Visual C++ project.

CAUSE
=====

The DBGrid control is designed to work specifically in Microsoft Visual Basic.
The DBGrid control utilizes functionality only exposed by Visual Basic's OLE
control container.

RESOLUTION
==========

The DBGrid control is only fully functional when used inside Microsoft Visual
Basic. Instead of using the DBGrid control, you can use the Microsoft DataGrid
Control 6.0 or the Microsoft FlexGrid control--these controls are not dependent
on Visual Basic for their functionality.


STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
