ANN: KControls 1.5

[tk]

Just in case somebody had installation problems with 1.4 on Linux this should be fixed in 1.5.
+ some more fixes.
+ some more cross-IDE controls I've recently converted from Delphi.

I did have installation problems in Linux with version 1.4. I had to go back to version 1.3 on Linux. I'll be trying this new version 1.5 on Linux ASAP. Thanks for your good work.

Been using your TKGrid, nice. I expect a more codeless approach for assigning editor, though. I hope it can be assigned per column in a form designer. I'm rewriting one of my software, a questionnaire system. Previously I use scrollable panel with proper childsizing to layout the interface, but that sucks. It would be better using a grid, but no grid component offers such a functionality yet. At least checkbox, radio and text edit required.

TKDBGrid provides some inplace editor automation according to data kind but I am not sure you are talking about a dbgrid.

BTW. Version 1.6 has been released, TKDBGrid has the (by many people long awaited) Columns property, etc.

I'm talking about generic grid, not related to underlying data type of the columns. There are times when questions may have multiple answer, and despite it's easily accomplished with m-n table in the backend, how would TKDBGrid solve it?

Maybe MSEgui twidgetgrid can provide the wanted functionality. There any widget of the MSEide 'Edit' component tab can be placed in the grid at design time in order to build a column. There is also tdbwidgetgrid for DB-aware widgets. Although I probably don't understand your requirements.

I see.
TKDBGrid.DefaultEditorCreate method uses column data type to select appropriate inplace editor so it is generally codeless (of course not for every case).
In TKGrid there is no such method yet - it might be a to do for next release.
