How does Excel implement the cells in a spreadsheet?
Are they just a drawing area on window or are all the
cells themselves seperate windows, thus allowing
the windows enviroment to send messages direct to
the process that manages the cell directly.

A related question, what is the "cost" of creating
lots of child windows?

And just one more, how does Excel provide the blinking
cell when a cell is selected with a control insert?


thanks
