I am looking to display an array from 128 to 512 bytes in size of hexadecimal data (0x00 to 0xFF) in a 16 X n grid-like display. It needs the capability of selecting a single element or group of elements and highlighting the data in some way. It also needs to allow editing. I’m writing this in C# 3,5 using Winforms.
I’m considering some kind of rich text box or just an array of small textboxes, but neither idea is without its drawbacks. Is there a free spreadsheet-like custom control that makes sense, or am I going to have to roll my own. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Take a look at the DataGridView.
You’d need to break this up into the constituent cells, but it definitely is great for putting together a grid of data (like Excel).
