Using the TMS grids in Delphi

Introduction

TMS' GridPack provides an enhanced version of Delphi's TStringGrid (TAdvStringGrid) and TDBGrid (TDBAdvGrid.) It's a more affordable alternative to DevExpress QuantumGrid.

As of July 2009, TMS doesn't provide a free-access forum. Paid customers can send an e-mail for support.

Setup

Close the IDE and just run the installer.

TAdvStringGrid

Samples

TDBAdvGrid

Descends from TAdvStringGrid to provide a DB-aware grid control.

The default, PageMode=true, means that only visible rows are fetched from the dataset; As a result, only this subset is available for search, etc. On the other hand, when using PageMode=false, the connection to the dataset is closed after fetching the rows, which means that data in the grid are not editable.
