Note: Before using the component in your solution, you must first determine the type and version.

Determining the component type and version

To determine the type and version of a DataGrid component in an application, perform the following steps.

Interrogate the control.
Object Explorer creates the objects for the Factory required for the grid, for example, microsoftFlexGridFactory1. Also, the grid will be named according to the component type, for example, MS FlexGrid.
With the Interrogator active, highlight the Factory for the grid in Object Explorer and view the file version under the selected target. This value represents the version of the component.
Based on the component type and version, you can now determine the properties, methods, and events that are available to you for use in the automation design. For more information, see DataGrid - Properties, Methods, and Events. Click any of the links in the table above to see the specific properties, methods, and events supported by the corresponding grid.

Note: Not all data grids share the same properties, methods, and events. For more information, see DataGrid Property, Method, and Event Exceptions by Component Name.

Unrecognized components

If you try to interrogate a DataGrid object that is not a supported Proprietary Data Grid Component, Studio does not recognize the object as a DataGrid during the Interrogation process. The interrogated object displays in Object Explorer as a generic control, without the functionality available for supported DataGrid components.

In this case, you will need to request that a translator be built for your grid. Contact Support for assistance.
