An extended TDBGrid plus classic Delphi-VCL Editors with Boundary-Label (DB-Aware and Standard) including NumberBox
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
Also available for D10.3 to latest, TLabeledButtonEdit and TLabeledDBButtonEdit are a classic editors with a button inside (on the right). For Date Fields the button opens automatically a Popup-Calendar.
Look at those examples, showing all the components with different Label alignments: the demo is available into Demo Folder
