The following products did NOT work with MMTB40:

        TxEdit  / DBS GmbH
        ResourceManager /
        Gantt VBX/ ADDSoft
        Resource Manager VBX/ ADDSoft
        Schedule VBX / ADD Soft
        FLabel / Mabry Software mabry@halcyon.com

The following products seam to work with MMTB40:

        ChartFX / SoftwareFX
        Barcod / Mabry Software mabry@halcyon.com
        CalVBX 2.0 / Mr. G M Winter
[       SimpleGridControl / Asymetrix 8-) ]

This is what I found out in some tests. Others may come to different results.

Bye, Joerg.

Some information for the Depository...

I purchased a spell-checker VBX named VisualSpeller 1.0 by VisualTools, Inc. and was able to get it to work with ToolBook 4.0.

The VBX includes all of the functionality you'd expect in a spell-checker. After dropping the VTSPELL object onto a page, it takes only one command line to initiate the spell-check process. When the VBX finds a misspelled word, a dialog appears with several buttons and word-suggestion fields. The VBX supports custom dictionaries, auto-replace, and some other advanced features.

Subject: Re: Tips on using VBX grid controls

I've tried out Farpoint's Spread/VBX 2.1 with pretty good results. There was an action or property for (almost) everything I needed to do. vbxLeaveCell gives the col,row of what cell the user is entering as well as which cell they left. It was easy set row/col headers, determine what block of cells was selected, load data from a tab-delimited file, etc. You might want to give it a try.
