BeeGrid 1.0 includes two separate grid controls, one for the older ICursor data sources and one for the OLEDB based data source. The ICursor grid can bind to Visual Basic's intrinsic Data control. The OLEDB grid control can bind to the Microsoft's ADO Data Control, the Data Environment or directly to OLEDB recordset.

To use bound mode, set the grid's DataMode property to sgBound. Then, set the DataSource property to reference a data source.  If the AutoFields property is set to True, grid will automatically derive new column bindings from the data source during its binding process. If you want to create columns layout manually, use the DBField property of the Column object to bind database field to a particularly column. Setting DBField property to an empty string, creates unbound column and FetchColumnData event will be fired to fetch data for that column.

In Bound data mode some restrictions apply:

• The ICursor version does not display pictures stored in BLOB fields.
• The OLEDB version display pictures stored in BLOB only if the recordset's CursorLocation property is set to adUseClient.
• The RDO and MS Remote Data Control are not supported.
