Michael, thanks.
Are there any Microsoft controls that do scheduling (for displaying
project timelines or something similar, even if crude...)?
More generally, I was mucking around with some of the Microsoft OCXs,
but it got too confusing. They had many that seem to do similar things,
some were probably just later versions, of an original and were renamed.
But it was hard to figure out which were the latest, and which will be
supported going forward, and also had reasonable licensing, so I
couldn't properly recommend them.
(I can't tell people to build applications and require their customers
to buy or download some unrelated software.)
If you or anyone else could suggest guidelines, then I might reconsider
recommending these controls.
