Documentation

Follow the Project Site to known how to use those components to modernize your Delphi VCL applications and the features of the advanced DbGrid.

An advanced TDbGrid component:

TLabeledDbGrid is an advanced version of classic TDbGrid with a boundary Label, plus some extra features:

• ShowSortOrder: shows an indicator of sorting column
• Embedeed CheckBox for boolean fields
• Incremental search, when typing into a ReadOnly DbGrid
• Alternate row-color
• Custom row-colors
• Show sort order
• Incremental search
• Lines per Rows (to show memo fields with multiple lines)
• RowMargin (to enlarge heigh of any row)

*Example of a TLabeledDbGrid (with some extended functionality like inplace checkbox and sorting) with the label aligned TopCenter (inside the client area of the grid aligned alClient).

This library contains also the classic VCL editors (standard and data-aware) with the addition of a "label" attached to the component itself (like the native component TLabeledEdit).

It is no longer necessary to keep the Label "connected" and "aligned" by hand to the editor: on every component you can specify 3 simple properties:

• BoundCaption
• BoundLabel.Labelposition (default lpTopLeft)
• BoundLabel.LabelSpacing (default 1)

The label can be positioned with 12 alignements: lpTopLeft, lpTopCenter, lpTopRight, lpBottomLeft, lpBottomCenter, lpBottomRight, lpLeftTop, lpLeftMiddle, lpLeftBottom, lpRightTop, lpRightMiddle, lpRightBottom

New components not present in VCL:

TLabeledButtonEdit and TLabeledDBButtonEdit are a classic editors with a button inside (on the right). For Date Fields the button opens automatically a Popup-Calendar.

Support for new NumberBox component

TNumberBox component (available from D10.4.2) is the new component for advanced numeric input. In this library you can find:

• TDBNumberBox: the standard component with classic DataAeware support (DataSource + DataField) without Label.
• TLabeledNumberBox: a TNumberBox component with boudary label
• TLabeledDBNumberBox: a TDBNumberBox with boudary label
