TSortGrid 2.00 (02-08-2001), freeware component for Delphi 2-6 by Karsten Bendsen.
Hi Delphi user.
As I've been unable to locate Bill Menees (The original Author) on the internet, I will continue working on his component.
I havn't been working on the grid for a couple of years now, but now I finally have made some changes and released a new version.
If I'm to release another version of the component, I'm going need to get some help from you users. I simple don't have the time to keep updating alone. So if, when :) you find a bug or comes up with a new feature, try to fix/make it yourself. I know that the code isn't very friendly, but try to see what you can do.
*******1. What is TSortGrid********************************************************
TSortGrid is a highly improved TStringGrid, lots of new or improved functions, events and properties, to name a few:
Search & Filter: Easy and fast, fully customable
Sort : Different sorts, like numbers, date, your own
Load & Save : Save to file and registry, export to csv
MultiSelect : Using ctrl and shift
Components : Add button, picklist or checkbox to a cell
Some of the Sort-procedures uses exceptions, which mean you will get a lot of errors when running the program from Delphi, you might turn Break On Exception off,
Delphi 4-6: Menu|Tools|DebuggerOptions|Lan. Ext.|Stop on.. to prevent this.
MyGrids.pas and TMyStringList is almost the same as Grids.pas and TStringGrid with the exception that I have have change the InLineCell editor a bit, so that a home or end press didn't jumps to another cell. I think this was the easiest way to do it
The help-file was made with Visual VCL Component Help, so thanks to www.CytronResearch.co.uk
