Mabry's new Grid/X ActiveX control provides
functionality and flexibility not seen in other grid
controls. The rich object model consists of 20+
separate objects that make utilizing Grid/X's features
easy and reliable.
The following are some of the more important top-level
objects found in the Grid/X programming model:
Views - GridX provides multiple of the data it
manages. Views may be split either vertically or
horizontally, and you may allow the users to resize,
remove, and create new views as required. A number of
objects and properties may be used to customize the
data that appears in views. And, unique to Grid/X, is
the ability to host ActiveX controls in a View. The
Grid/X tutorials show how to put this powerful feature
to good use.
RowStyles - Each RowStyle object has a Condition
property. A condition is a Boolean expression that is
evaluated for each row of data before it is
displayed. You may add multiple Styles to the
RowStyles collection. When there are multiple styles
each row of data is evaluated relative to each Style,
until a match is found. Then the matching Style
object is used to determine how the row's data is
displayed.
GroupByBar - The GroupByBar object provides you with
an easy way to present hierarchical data. It
maintains a collection of Group objects that determine
the way that data is grouped. The GroupByBar also
servers as a user-interface element. Using the
GroupByBar users can organize hierarchical data, as
they require.
StatusBar - The Status Bar is displayed at the
bottocapabilites. Other properties are used to
enable/disable context-menus, the display of share
names, and whether icons are displayed or not - to
name a few. FolderViewX also provides a complete list
of events, giving you complete control over what
happens as the user selects and clicks on folders.
And FolderView/X provides a Folders collection
containing Folder objects which provide useful
information such as PathName, ShareName, and
DisplayName.
