What's new in v6?
Grid Views
NextGrid v6 introducing a concept of grid views as separate objects.
NextGrid version 1-5 include 2 standard views:
1. Report
2. Slides.
Views have not been directly accessible to developers, and developers wasn't been able to extend this views easily.
In version 6 of NextGrid, developer is able to create as many views he want. Developer may set View's specific properties, clone or even destroy it. If view is created in design-time (via Views Editor), public variable inside TForm is also created (as for any other component placed on Form).
TForm1 = class(TForm)
grSales: TNextGrid6;
gvReport: TNxReportGridView;
Button1: TButton;
Edit1: TEdit;
...
begin
gvReport.HeaderHeight := 48;
gvReport.GridLines := True;Programming and extending views is now more flexible and easy. Developer is now able to write own views very easy. This architecture also gives us more room to extend built-in views and create new in future.
Writing new view is matter of hours.
Inplace editors
Inplace-editors now implement INxInplaceEdit interface. This is a huge news for everyone who want to use any control as Inplace-editor for editing cell.
Soon we will publish article about how to do this. Process is quite fast and straightforward.
