Hi everyone
I recently had the need for StringGrid object same as the one that
Delphi has. An object that helps show lists of other objects in a
simple grid. I searched the news groups and found none, so, I wrote
one and decided to share it with you.
It's a very simple one with few functions. I derived a DataGrid and
added to it a DataTable to hold the data. The object itself is
handling the synchronization between them, because some of the
operations are relevant to the StringGrid and some to the DataTable.
I added a simple program that shows how to work with it. You are all
free to use it and if you adding something that you think could help,
please publish also.
Enjoy,
Tal Sharfi
