Description

The TCB_SortGrid enhances the TDBGrid as supplied by Borland. Because the TCB_SortGrid has a TDBGrid as its base, all the functionality of the TDBGrid is contained within the TCB_SortGrid. There are a few important changes to the TDBGrid.

 The grid can be sorted by clicking on a column's title

 Ascending sort by clicking on the left hand side of the column's title.

 Descending sort by clicking on the right hand side of the column's title.

 Revert to no-sorting by clicking in the middle of the column's title.

 DBImages can be displayed as images and not just as (graphic)

 DBMemos can be displayed as text and not just as (memo)

 Rows can be resized.

 Tables can be sorted if an index exists

 Queries can always be sorted.

 Supports the sorting of the detail in a master-detail relationship.
