TXDBGrid component is a powerful functional extension of standard TDBGrid
component. TXDBGrid component looks beautiful and implements many additional
features like: fixed columns, Windows themes and custom styles, many variants
of gradient drawing, proportional scrolling for any DataSet even filtered,
expandable columns and title headers, checkboxes, hot buttons, title and
indicator images, many variants of pictures drawing into cells, sorting markers
and multicolumns sorting, enhanced lookup list, data list, calculator, calendar,
storing and loading columns layout, enhanced support for bdRightToLeft BiDiMode,
extended rows, columns and cells selection, auto-number and auto-select column,
hints and tooltips, column stretching and many, many more ...
TXDBGrid offers in addition: auto-updated quick sequence number, auto-changed
sorting order for all standard DataSet descendants (ADO, BDE, CDS, DBX, IBX,
FireDAC) and many of third-party DAC components, auto-calculated totals values
for whole DataSet and/or for SelectedRows, 4 kinds of integrated totals footers,
extended lookup columns, universal search panel, integrated filtering system and
auto-filter list for each column.
TXDBGrid is fully compatible with standard TDBGrid and can be used as a
replacement without losing existing values. TXDBGrid has its own Column Editor
and Designer, which can fully support all new column's properties.
TXDBColumn represents a standalone column editor. TXDBColumn performs the same
functionality as inplace editor for the selected column in TXDBGrid component.
TXDBColumn directly uses all column's properties set in TXDBGrid. The result
of data editing in TXDBColumn is returned to the TXDBGrid.
TXDBEditor represents a standalone field editor. TXDBEditor performs the same
functionality for a field in DataSet as inplace editor in TXDBGrid component.
TXDBEditor allows to set properties similar to the column properties in TXDBGrid.
The result of data editing in TXDBEditor is stored directly to the DataSet. When
DataSource property is not assigned TXDBEditor can work as non db-aware editor.
TXDBNavigator represents a gradient database navigator. TXDBNavigator is a functional
extension of standard TDBNavigator. TXDBNavigator introduces several new properties to control border of buttons,
gradient drawing style and parent's background.
