Dear Erik:
please read the Gr User manual available from Helmut's website.
There is a discussion there and examples how you can insert the
GrView into a form. Try GrDAQdemo, where a live graphical display
is in a form, and it interacts with buttons surrounding the graph.
The Gr demo programs were meant as a self-explaining tutorial how to do
such things. It is not easy, and I have spent significant time putting
it together. However, once done, it can be used as a template for your
own stuff. You will need to download the Gr package, install it,
play with examples to get some feel how this behaves, and then start
digging into the examples and reading comments. I have put lots and
lots of comments into Gr. I regret I never wrote the BB-style module-by-
module docu, but the comments in the programs should get you a long way.
Hope it helps. Drop me a line if there are problems.
