zooming a custom control - layout custom controls in grid

[john menke]

I am new to .Net and have a requirements for a project that we zoom a
grid control when it's clicked. This grid will contain a yellow pages
like listing and be displayed on a form with other grids in a table
like format.

Does the grid control support zoom?

Can anyone suggest a way for me to layout the grids on the form
programtically in a HTML table like structure? - Optimally i would
query the db to find the relevant records then display a grid control
for each record and lay the controls out in a table like format. When
each control was clicked by the user it would popup a zoomed version
on the screen over the original table.

thanks in advance for any help

John,

The current grid control does not support zoom functionality. If
anything, I think that you would have to custom code this yourself.

Also, I don't know of any grids that support an HTML table like
structure. There is something like this in Avalon, I believe, but that is
so far away that I wouldn't recommend it.

Hope this helps.
