Description

The suite of enhanced edit components:

• TAdvEdit
• TAdvMemo
• TAdvTreeView
• TAdvPopupEdit
• TAdvDropDownEdit
• TAdvDateTimeEdit
• TAdvNumericEdit
• TAdvComboBox
• TAdvColorBox

• TAdvDBEdit
• TAdvDBMemo
• TAdvDBTreeView
• TAdvDBDateTimeEdit
• TAdvDBNumericEdit
• TAdvDBComboBox
• TAdvDBLookupComboBox
• TAdvDBLookupTreeView
• TAdvDBColorBox

for fast and easy data entering.

All these components (except TAdvTreeView and TAdvDBTreeView) are descendants of TAdvCustomEdit class and TAdvCustomEdit class is improved descendant of TCustomEdit. I have created these components with minimum programming code. Wherever the original Borland code was not optimal I have overriden it, but generally I’ve tried to take the maximum advantage of Borland code.

My idea also was to make these components maximum friendly for both keyboard and mouse using and to give them pretty look (see TMathCalculator and TDateTimeSelector which descendants are also used as dropdown window appropriately in TAdv(DB)NumericEdit and TAdv(DB)DateTimeEdit).

You will be amazed at the potentiality, efficiency and look and feel of AdvEdit components.

Some of important features in all components:

• property Allignment
• property AllowExitOnKeyPress lets You decide if after pressing key UP, key DOWN or RETURN focus is changed to previous or next control (in Memos case, behaviour after RETURN press depends also on WantReturns setting, if AllowExitOnKeyPress = True then if key Up was pressed and Carret was in top line then previous control is focused and if key down was pressed and Carret was in bottom line then next control is focused)
• properties ColorWhenFocused and FontColorWhenFocused let You to change colors of the control when it receives focus, without a need of writing additional code anywhere in Form
• improved border drawing (see DEMO-exe)

in components with dropped down windows:

• property AllowInput lets You decide if user can enter data (also paste is controlled) or only choose something from the dropped down window (generally there is a system that lets You fully control data entering in very easy way)
• property CursorOverButton lets You change mouse cursor when it moves over edit control’s button

TAdvColorBox - smart component for selecting colors

• Standard Colors List
• Hue/Saturation/Lumination Color Palette
• You can easely switch between these two PopupWindows

TAdv(DB)NumericEdit with dropped down calculator with rounding feature

• TMathCalculator is small TCustomControl descendants, and same as TDateTimeSelector, contains no other control - only graphic function and event handlig

in TAdvDBLookupComboBox:

• property EditingOptions lets You define how user can modify ListSource’s Dataset (insert, edit, delete / accessed by clicking on Buttons or PopupMenu) and how KeyValue should be set
• property ListTitles is a semicolon separated string that lets You set column titles (if ListFields.Count > 1 and lvoColumnTitles in ListViewOptions); if ListTitles is empty then titles are taken from column’s Field.DisplayLabel properties
• properties ListTitlesColor and ListViewOptions let You customize appearance of the dropped down list (column headers, vertical and horizontal lines, rounding float fields to CurrencyDecimals)
• HotTrack property and MouseWheel scroll let You walk through the dropdown list in much more comfortable way than in standard TDBLookupComboBox
• support for multifield KeyField

in TAdvDBLookupTreeView

• works just like TAdvDBLookupComboBox
• tree is built dynamically, "on demand" of expanding node
• very fast node locating when setting a KeyValue
• SizingBorder for popup TreeView window
• You can decide if only Childless nodes can be selected
• property MultiParentAllowed: if set to True then You can attach same nodes to varies Parents

in TAdvCheckListBox, TAdvComboCheckBox, TAdvDBComboCheckBox

• check flag can be stored as integer or bytes
• options are identified by list item indexes

and much more - see DEMO application (using TObject descendants class hierarchy)

see History.Txt for changes

You can register the components under Your own names if You already have components with such names in Your Delphi IDE. Take a look at the AdvEditCtrls_RegDeclar.pas placed in Source folder. You can use them in Your IDE completly free - there is no time limit or NAGscreen.

Description

DBPanelEdit is a DB aware control. It is inherited from TCustomPanel. You have to assign the DataSource and then DBPanelEdit do your work itself. DBPanelEdit recognizes the field types and creates DBEdit, DBMemo, DBImage or DBLookUp ComboBox controls by itself depending on their types. Adds scroll Bars if it is necessary and so on. Your application can use the DBPanelEdit to edit data in the database or simply to display it. The most convenient way to move through data in a DBPanelEdit and to insert, delete, and edit data is to use the database navigator.

Description

DBZipMemo is like three components in one. In its inactive state it looks just like an ordinary DBEdit control. It functions just like an ordinary DBMemo control. When you double click on the control a window pops up complete with a large Memo control to allow easier editing and viewing of the Memo details. The window is complete with Caption and Hint lines taken from the original DBMemo's Hint property. The window also has OK and Cancel buttons to allow you to accept or reject changes. When one of the buttons is pressed the window disappears and the focus returns to the original control (or optionally to the next control in the Tab order). If the changes were accepted then the windows contents are copied to the original control otherwise they are discarded.
