porting over VB6 to QB64PE (and VB6 IDE that runs in browser & modern Windows )
#7

After MS discontinued Visual Basic 6 and support for the control dried up or it wasn't freely available, there were some 3rd party & open source versions released, e.g.,
If InForm has anything like that, I would make use of it, but if not, I'd be curious what kind of workarounds people use for that kind of functionality in QB64/PE?
Of course I love QB64PE, but you might also consider checking out TwinBasic (https://github.com/twinbasic/twinbasic/releases and https://twinbasic.com/).  It has an MSFlexGrid control replacement that I have been using with good success. I see that you are referencing that FlexGrid (made by Kr00l, https://github.com/Kr00l/VBFLXGRD). It is available as a downloadable package within TwinBasic (Project - References - Available Packages). TwinBasic is not yet fully vb6-compatible, but it is getting closer and closer.
