EhLib history

Version 1.56

  Added new unit "DBGridEhImpExp.pas" that containt objects and routines:
    1. To export DBGridEh at next formats: Text, Csv, HTML, RTF, XLS and
        internal format for interchange between DBGridEh's (VCLDBIF).
     procedure SaveDBGridEhToExportFile( ExportClass: TDBGridEhExportClass;
       DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; const FileName: String; IsSaveAll: Boolean);
     procedure WriteDBGridEhToExportStream( ExportClass: TDBGridEhExportClass;
       DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; Stream: TStream; IsSaveAll: Boolean);

     Where the ExportClass parameter is one of the next classes:
        TDBGridEhExportAsText, TDBGridEhExportAsCsv, TDBGridEhExportAsHTML,
        TDBGridEhExportAsRTF, TDBGridEhExportAsVCLDBIF or TDBGridEhExportAsXLS.
            IsSaveAll parameter indicates whether to export whole grid or
        only selection.

    2. To import DBGridEh from Text and internal format (VCLDBIF).
      procedure LoadDBGridEhFromImportFile( ImportClass: TDBGridEhImportClass;
        DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; const FileName: String; IsLoadToAll: Boolean);
      procedure ReadDBGridEhFromImportStream(ImportClass: TDBGridEhImportClass;
        DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; Stream: TStream; IsLoadToAll: Boolean);

     Where the ImportClass parameter is one of the next classes:
        TDBGridEhImportAsText, TDBGridEhImportAsVCLDBIF.


    3. To Copy, Paste, Cut DBGridEh to/from clipboard.
      procedure DBGridEh_DoCutAction(DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; ForWholeGrid:Boolean);
      procedure DBGridEh_DoCopyAction(DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; ForWholeGrid:Boolean);
      procedure DBGridEh_DoPasteAction(DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; ForWholeGrid:Boolean);
      procedure DBGridEh_DoDeleteAction(DBGridEh: TCustomDBGridEh; ForWholeGrid:Boolean);

  In TDBGridEh
    + Added property EditActions: TDBGridEhEditActions.

                               geaSelectAllEh);
        TDBGridEhEditActions = set of TDBGridEhEditAction;
        Specifies actions (inherited from TEditAction) that grid can update and
          execute.
    + Added some functions to support edit actions.

  * Although this version of EhLib can export to XLS (Biff) format, MS Excel can not 
     accept this data from clipboard. Probably I don't completely correct write to 
     this format. Please let me know if you have detail information about Biff format.
