MFC like Features

Essential Grid supports several MFC-like features. These features are beneficial to any application, and they also make porting from MFC to Windows Forms much easier.

MFC applications are usually designed using the Document-View pattern. This pattern is a variant of the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern. In practice, this refers to the complete separation between data and presentation, enabling the creation of extremely flexible and adaptable components.

Essential Grid provides complete separation betweeen its data and display details. This allows users to easily implement multiple views on the same data, similar to MFC document view applications.

Essential Grid can be used inside a dynamic splitter control. The control inside the split view will normally share the same data model, providing a sophisticated perspective for the same data, visualizing Microsoft Excel.

Dynamic splitting is a feature, that adds extra usability to any user interface. Components are required to posses pre-built support to provide split - view.
