Unit

AliGrid

Description

Originally it was a descendant of TStringGrid with the possibility to change the
alignment of the text to left (same as TStringGrid) or right aligned or centered and
only 4k source code, but with each new version more features appeared but the name
stayed (as there is already a TSuperGrid I've to stick to the name...), and it now
has 200k of source, and there are still further items on my to do list.

For updates and a listing of bugs (often with patches or work-arounds) check my
homepage. This software comes as freeware, you may use any way you like. However
there is no warranty whatsoever, I can only promise I did my best to avoid bugs.
If you want to redistribute this component only do it completely with all the files
in the archive. Finally if you like this component all I ask you to do is send me a
nice postcard of your hometown - other presents are also welcome but a postcard is enough.

Usage

To install this component select "Install Component" and then select the file
aligridr.pas. You will then see this component in the "Custom" tab of the component
list. Many of the additional properties of this component can already be seen in the
object inspector, however the more complex ones (the object inspector does not know
about array properties) are only accessible with the component editor - just double
click on the component. All the settings are saved as usual in Delphi, but of course
you can also access them the Pascal way with the properties as listed in this help.

Advanced Usage

Like every component this one can be extended by inheriting your own custom component
from it. I have made preparations in the component to allow to add more functionality
in inherited components, and as adding more cell specific items like the fonts will
be the most prominent use take a look at the icongrid.pas, which add cell specific
icons. If you create such a component based upon mine you're welcome to send it to
me, so I can either add the functionality in the base class, or at least avoid to
become incompatible when doing a new version.

Thanks

A great number of people contributed to this component by reporting bugs, suggesting
enhancements or even sending code I just needed to include; many even don't know
they contributed to this component when they asked for a special grid component in
one of the newsgroups and gave me new ideas this way. So instead of listing those
names I can still remember and forgetting many others I just thank everybody who
wrote me, and hope you will apologize me if I didn't answered your email...
