[Wine]MSFlexGrid control(msflxgrd.ocx) always gives a maybe outdated error

[Adam Gibson]

I have a few apps at work that use the msflxgrd.ocx control and have 
been trying for several years to see if one day it will work with a new 
release of wine but that day has not yet come.  I have finally decided 
to post to this list about it instead of sitting idle and see if anyone 
might be able to help find the problem and see how big of a deal it is 
to fix.

I had a developer at work create a test app that did nothing but add the 
MSFlexGrid control from msflxgrd.ocx on a form and compiled it(no code 
was added).  When I run the app(or any other app at work that uses 
msflxgrd.ocx) a msg box pops up with the text below:

"Failed to load control 'MSFlexGrid' from MSFLXGRD.OCX.
Your version of MSFLXGRD.OCX may be outdated.  Make sure
you are using the version of the control that was provided
with your application."

I tried changing the Windows version in the wine config to all different 
versions but that did not help.  My latest attempt I copied the 
MSFLXGRD.OCX (version 6.0.84.18) from a win2k system to the wine system 
directory for the test.

One day I hope to find a fix for this problem so I can dance around my 
work area spouting stuff like... "No more windows for me!!" to all my 
co-workers :).  Any information that might help would be appreciated.
