XStringrid Version 2.6

XStringrid Version 2.6 ====================== OVERVIEW -------- XStringgrid is an extended version of the stringgrid which offers a lot more flexibility. It's possible to apply different colors and fonts to each column and it's header and align the content of the cells. In addition it offers different inplace editors which can be assigned to columns to edit their cells. So far edit, combo, maskedit, updown, checklist, button checkbox and form inplace editors are implemented. TXStringgrid also implements a flexible sort mechanism. See the demo project to get started. INSTALLATION ------------ Use the appropriate package file for installation: - Delphi3: XStringGrid_D3.dpk - Delphi4: XStringGrid_D4.dpk - Delphi5: XStringGrid_D5.dpk - Delphi6: XStringGrid_D6.dpk - Delphi7: XStringGrid_D7.dpk - BCB3: XStringGrid_BC3.bpk - BCB5: XStringGrid_BC5.bpk - BCB6: XStringGrid_BC6.bpk If you succeed to install the component on any other version of Delphi or CBuilder please send me a note and the patches required if any. KNOWN ISSUES ------------ There is a problem in D3 with the Align property. When setting the Align property of the grid or of any parent container to any other value than alNone, the inplace editors "jump around" whenever they are activated. The problem is due to a flaw in the VCL. TControl.RequestAlign is static rather than virtual so the inplace editors have no chance to override this method to handle their alignment properly (which is doing nothing really). This was fixed in D4. NOTES ----- This component is freeware and it comes with full source code included. You are free to use it and all its associated files in any way you want, but dont expect me to support it. However, if you encounter any problems and live in a warm and sunny country, please feel free to send me an air ticket and I'll see what I can do :) DISCLAIMER ---------- THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS-IS".
