In an era where printing from VB6 was a nightmare (involving the Printer object and manual page breaks), FlexGrid Pro 8.0 provided a robust .PrintGrid method and a customizable print preview dialog. It handled scaling, page breaks, and header/footer text effortlessly.

VS FlexGrid Pro 8.0 remains a legendary name in the world of ActiveX development. Even decades after its initial release, this versatile grid control continues to power legacy enterprise applications across the globe. Developed by VideoSoft (which later became part of ComponentOne), it set the gold standard for how data could be displayed, edited, and managed in a Windows environment.

It allowed for the creation of hierarchical views. Users could collapse and expand rows, creating a tree-like structure within a standard grid.
