  • Looking for the FormulaOne ActiveX OCX

    Does anyone know anyone who has this available for sale? The current version is Java-based and I need the original AX control for use with VB6.

    Thanks in advance!

    Were you able to find this?
    Believe it or not I have the VBX version ( for VB 3) still in a box
    but not the OCX edition.
    Try Component Source
    https://www.componentsource.com/
    I know it's no longer in their "current" product line,
    ( the web site says "We do not supply this product anymore.")
    but they are a large reseller and you can ask if maybe
    maybe they can just look and see if they have a box sitting
    in inventory from the old days.

    If you can't find it anywhere - think about whether you
    need all the features. Which features do you need?
    We've explored spreadsheet style calculations using a grid component
    ( our own TList - but perhaps could be done with other grids)
    and it's certainly possible to implement many spreadsheet type
    features in this way.
    If you can't find Formula One, perhaps you can code the specific
    behavior and methods, events, properties you need around
    a non-spreadsheet grid.

    Best wishes

    Worth doing...

    Thanks for the response! I'm actually looking for a better OCX then fpSpread as it seems to have some issues calculating the same formula across multiple columns. My Excel sheet calcs correctly as do the Libre Calc and Google Sheets templates. This is the 1st time (in over 12 yrs) my fpSpread has let me down and I can't get any resolve from Grape City because they dropped support in favor of their .net version
