Hi

I am wanting to have a list that the user can enter values against a list of items

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
item 1 value value
item 2 value value
etc

The items in column 1 will be fixed names while the values in the other columns will be initially read from a text file and then used or stored back into the text file. The user will need to input data into the 'values'. I would also like to be able to define the column headings.

Can somebody point me in teh right direction?

Thank you VERY much

Rob
 
For Windows, there are several options. One to look at is TStringGrid. James P. Cottingham

do a TListView...and in the properties, towards the bottom, is ViewStyle. Set it to vsReport. Then double-click on your list view and add or remove columns as needed.
To add a list item can be somewhat frusterating if you haven't done it before. They use a kind of strange method.

see...
on how to do it. Cyprus
