Hi,
I'm looking for an extended TDbGrid component, capaple of communicating with a
MySQL database through the dbExpress. The features I am interested in are:
- an external multi-line editing window for MEMO fields
- an external window for editing fields of SET or ENUM types
(checkboxes/radiobuttons for every possible values)
I'd like this windows to open after clicking a small "elipsis" button in the
right corner... Anyone saw such a component?
If not, could you give me suggestions how could I write such a component by
myself? (basing on the standard TDbGrid or any other grid)?

I never found any "free" ones that I'd place in the superb category, but there are many.
You would get better (and quicker) answers if you asked in b.p.d.thirdpartytools group.
Or search google. Many vendors will let you "try" their grid for free (eg. for some trial
period, or as long as IDE is detected as running)
delphi provides native support for 'hooking' an ellipsis in grid cells, so it would not be
colossally difficult to write your own.

in a MySQL database (I'm using the dbExpress connector and a MySQL driver)? Is
it possible to do it using only the TDataSet or TClientDataSet?

Hello, Pawel!
that does a "DESCRIBE <tablename><fieldname>" and then parse the field
values from it.
Cheers,
Ignacio

be advised that this did not work for all versions of mysql. See the
qc reports #1810 and #4160 for example .
but for the latest versions of mysql and dbexpress driver, all is
supposed to be fixed and working.
