It is great, and also very annoying at times. Great flexibility gives great complexity.
ReplyDeleteI find that I really can't do without tDBAdvStringGrid even though TMS would rather let us use tDBAdvGrid.
ReplyDeletetDBAdvStringGrid has much faster performance than tdbAdvGrid and it has the advantage that I can re-execute the database query with different parameters without the grid's cursor resetting its position after each query. Thanks to this feature I can make the grid behave like a scrollable view over a very large dataset whilst having only the visible rows in memory. It's like having Excel with an unlimited number of rows.
Unfortunately the tDBAdvStringGrid component has to be installed manually every time we update TMS components and that's a terrible nuisance.
I wrote my own wrapper around TAdvStringGrid for DB use. The specialized DB grids have too many magic behaviours.
ReplyDeleteArthur Hoornweg We'd be interesting to know more about how your TDBAdvStringGrid is faster than TDBAdvGrid with property PageMode = true? This surprises us. If you could contact us by email we can get more details and investigate to learn from it and see what specifically unique in TDBAdvStirngGrid you use that we could also bring with TDBAdvGrid
