-
- ADDNEW: Allow end-users to enter a new record at the bottom line of

-
- TrueGrid Pro (Professional Edition) Features Overview
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- STANDARD EDITION FEATURES: 100% compatible with TrueGrid Std. No
- need to rewrite any of your applications.
-
- SPLITS: Splits a grid into any number of independent grids. The
- splits can scroll simultaneously or independently, or be locked from

- interactively. Programmer can decide how much interactively control
- the end-users have.
-
- PER-CELL COLOR AND FONT: Control the color and font style of each
- individual cell based on cell contents and cell status. If cell

- MULTI-LINE ROW AND HEADING: Heading and row heights are independently
- controlled.
-
- ATTACHED COMBO OR LIST BOX: Attach a combo or list box, or even any
- Visual Basic controls to a cell.
-
- DRAG AND DROP: Easy to program features to allow drag and drop of
- data to and from other controls.
-
- INDENTATION: Control per-cell text indentation, ideal for building
- outlines and subtitles in a grid column.
-
- CALCULATED COLUMNS: Create columns to display calculated expressions
- simply by entering a Visual Basic expression in a ColumnExpression
- property. No code required. Visual Basic constants (e.g., null, True,
- False), operators, field names, functions (37 VB functions are
- supported), and even other calculated columns are supported. TrueGrid
- automatically resolves all dependencies and calculation orders.
-
- CROSS-FORM BINDING: TrueGrid can be bound to a Visual Basic Data
- Control in another form.
-
- IMPROVED LAYOUT EDITOR: Allows programmers to visually and interactively
- configure various column and split properties. Features such as locked
- columns are automated.
-
- COMPLETE PROGRAMMER CONTROL: Programmer can override all default and
- inherited data and attributes and dictate what data, color, and font
- styles the grid should display in a cell using the UnboundFetch and
- FetchAttribute events.
-
- IN-CELL GRAPHIC: You can display graphical images in a cell, not just
- textual information.
-
- IN-CELL CHECK BOX AND RADIO-BUTTON: For easy data inspection; eliminate
- end-user typing and error.
-
- VALUE LIST: Values from bound or calculated columns can be translated
- to any textual strings or pictures for display purposes. For example,
- (0, 1) may be displayed as (Yes, No), country names may be displayed as
- bitmaps of their respective flags. Value lists can be defined at design
- time using the Layout Editor - no code necessary!
-
- COLUMN SUMS: Built-in properties to calculate and maintain field column
- sums. An event will be fired when a column sum changes.
-
- BOUND (DATABASE-AWARE) COMBO AND LIST BOXES, AND OPTION LIST: TrueGrid
- Pro is bundled with bound combo box, list box and option list (radio
- button) from Crescent Software, Inc.
-
- BUILT-IN SUPPORT FOR CRYSTAL REPORTS: You can perfrom ad-hoc queries on
- the grid, configure the grid (hide, resize, or swap columns) at runtime
- or design time, and create Crystal reports (on the fly!) that match the
- grid data and configurations. (See details below.)
-
-
- TrueGrid - Crystal Reports Combination
- --------------------------------------
-
- TrueGrid has built-in support for the newly released Crystal Reports
- Pro 4.0 and the stock version of Crystal Reports that comes bundled with
- Visual Basic Pro 3.0.
-
- You can now bound an enhanced CRYSTAL.VBX to a Visual Basic Data
- Control, and generate "bound reports" without an existing report
- (.RPT) file! If you modify (at runtime or design time) the Database
- and/or RecordSource properties in the Data Control, the "bound
- reports" will automatically reflect the changes.
-
- You can perform ad-hoc SQL queries on your databases, display and
- edit the resulting data in TrueGrid, configure the grid (e.g., hide
- certain fields or rearrange the field orders) either at runtime or
- design time, and then generate reports (on the fly!) that match
- exactly the configuration and data being displayed in the grid.
-
- If you need to customize the appearance of a "bound report", the
- enhanced CRYSTAL.VBX will allow you to create a special "bound report
- file (.RPT)". After a "bound report file" is created, you can then
- use the Crystal Report Designer to customize the report layout just
- like you do with other .RPT files.
