Spreadsheet Contest

Recently, Gunter (gdann) posed an interesting question related to a graphical representation of a spreadsheet.

Also recently, Bill W posted a few functions finding column and row within a graphics grid. http://libertybasic.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=public&action=display&num=1157307123
It might be fun to see different approaches to designing a spreadsheet using Liberty BASIC. Here are the specifics to this contest:

The Absolutes

• The spreadsheet must contain a GUI. The actual GUI components (graphics, textboxes, child windows, etc.) are decided by the coder.

• The spreadsheet must contain a minimum of 5 columns and 10 rows (50 cells total). There is no maximum. You can use as many columns and rows as you'd like.

• The spreadsheet must allow users to insert numbers into each cell.

• The spreadsheet must be capable of at least one formula - displaying the sum of a block (either column or row) of user inputed numbers. More formulas are desirable, but this one formula (SUM) is required.

• The spreadsheet must contain a 'viewing' area where the contents of the selected cell are seen. This 'viewing' area should show either the literal contents of the cell or the formula content of the cell.

The Nice to Haves

• New, Load and Save Options
• Print Options
• Cut, Copy, Paste Options
