hum or this :-) ... on the road...

For now it display the grid, with zoom abilities
Have multiple selection possibilities
each cells have Background and borders properties
each cells have font properties

I have begin the work on the resolver based on Gambas expression class
and standard spreadsheet functions.


The goal is to have an interactive spreadsheet. with basic tools. Then
it will be possible to add then a sub component to add loading
functions.

But my goal is to have it as simple as possible.

see you soon
