********* Additional Information for C and C++ Users **********    
     
If you are using the Spread control in either C or C++, review the      
following information about using the control.     
     
===== Using the Spread Version 2.5 VBX Control in C++ =====    
     
Due to the complexity of the Spread control, the C++ implementation     
files are large. To use the Spread version 2.5 VBX control in C++,     
you might have to break the SSVBXMFC.CPP or SSVBXOWL.CPP      
files into two files if your C++ compiler cannot handle large files.     
     
== Using the Spread Version 2.5 32-Bit DLL Control in Borland C ==    
     
To use the Spread version 2.5 32-bit DLL control in Borland C,      
you must use version 5.0 or greater of Borland C's IMPLIB.EXE      
to generate a valid TAB32D20.LIB or IMP32D20.LIB. The IMPLIB      
command does not generate a backward-compatible library for      
earlier versions of Borland C (that is, for versions previous      
to version 5.0).     
     
== Using the Spread Version 2.5 32-Bit OCX Control in MSVC 4.0 ==    
     
To use the Spread version 2.5 32-Bit OCX control in MSVC 4.0,     
you must generate wrapper classes for the controls.     
     
To generate a wrapper class, you must use an existing application     
that supports OLE controls, or you must create such an application.     
     
Complete the steps in the following section to create an application     
that supports OLE controls. If you already have such an application,      
proceed to the section "Generating a C++ Wrapper for the Spread      
Control in MSVC 4.0."     
     
==== Creating a New Application That Supports OLE Controls ====    
     
To generate a new application that supports OLE controls     
     
1. In MSVC 4.0, choose New from the File menu.     
2. In the New dialog box, select Project Workspace from the New list.     
3. Choose the OK button.     
4. In the New Project Workspace dialog box,     
   a. Select the default item (MFC AppWizard (exe)) from the Type list.     
   b. Type a project name into the Name box.     
   c. Type a location for your project files in the Location box     
      or choose the Browse button to select a drive and directory.     
   d. Choose the Create button.     
5. In the MFC AppWizard - Step 1 dialog box, choose the Next button.     
6. In the MFC AppWizard - Step 2 of 6 dialog box, choose the Next      
   button.     
7. In the MFC AppWizard - Step 3 of 6 dialog box, select the OLE      
   controls check box and choose the Finish button.      
   This accepts the defaults for all other choices.     
8. In the New Project Information dialog box, choose the OK button      
   and MSVC 4.0 generates an application that supports OLE controls.     
     
== Generating a C++ Wrapper for the Spread Control in MSVC 4.0 ==    
     
There are two methods for generating C++ wrappers in MSVC 4.0.     
You can place the control on a dialog, or you can add the control     
as an application component.     
     
     
To generate a C++ wrapper with the control on a dialog     
     
1.  Open an existing dialog or create a new dialog in MSVC 4.0.     
    To create a new dialog, select Resource from the Insert menu.      
    Then, in the Insert Resource dialog box, select Dialog from the      
    Resource type list, and then choose the OK button.     
2.  Click the right mouse button in the dialog to display the pop-up      
    menu.     
3.  Choose Insert OLE Control.     
4.  In the Insert OLE Control dialog box, select FarPoint Spread      
    Control from the OLE control list.     
5.  Choose the OK button.     
6.  Click the right mouse button in the dialog to display the pop-up      
    menu.     
7.  Choose ClassWizard.     
8.  If you are creating a new dialog, create a C++ class for the dialog      
    using the following steps:     
    a. In the Adding a Class dialog box, choose the OK button.     
    b. In the Create New Class dialog box under Class Information, type     
       the new name in the Name box.     
    c. Choose the Create button.     
9.  Create a member variable for the control you inserted into your     
    dialog using the following steps:     
    a. In the MFC ClassWizard window on the Member Variables tab,      
       select the control ID of the OLE control you added to the dialog      
       from the Control IDs list.     
    b. Choose the Add Variable button.     
    c. Choose the OK button in the Microsoft Developer Studio message      
       that explains that a class wrapper will be generated for you.     
10. In the Confirm Classes dialog box, you can modify the class name,      
    implementation filename, and the declaration header filename or      
    accept the defaults provided.     
11. Choose the OK button.     
12. In the Add Member Variable dialog box, type a variable name in      
    the Member variable name box.     
13. Choose the OK button.     
    ClassWizard generates a wrapper class to support the Spread control.     
     
      
To generate a C++ wrapper with the control as an application      
component     
     
1. In MSVC 4.0, choose Component from the Insert menu.     
2. In the Component Gallery dialog box, choose the OLE Controls tab.     
3. Select the FarPoint Spread Control from the list.     
4. Choose the Insert button.     
5. In the Confirm Classes dialog box, you can modify the class name,      
   implementation filename, and the declaration header filename or      
   accept the defaults provided.     
6. Choose the OK button.     
7. In the Component Gallery dialog box, choose the Close button.     
   ClassWizard generates a wrapper class to support the Spread control.
