Dear Developers,

We are glad to announce the new version of EhLib software - EhLib 6.3.

In this version:

+ A new property SelectionDrawParams: TGridSelectionDrawParamsEh

SelectionDrawParams property is added in DBGridEh and DBVertGridEh component, which allows you to customize the style of the currently selected cell.
The property has the following sub-properties:
SelectionStyle: TGridSelectionDrawStyleEh - paint style of the currently selected cell
DrawFocusFrame: Boolean - Specifies whether to draw a dotted border around the currently selected cell.

TGridSelectionStyleEh type contains the following values:
gsdsDefaultEh - The default style is determined depending on the version of the OS and included Windows schemas and Delphi schemas.If Windows schemes is on the gssListViewThemedEh is used. If the active style of Delphi XE is on the GridThemed style is used.
gsdsClassicEh - Classic style. The cell is painted by uniform clSelected color.
gsdsGridThemedEh - The Delphi XE style is used to draw a celeced cell.
gsdsListViewThemedEh - Windows ListView style is to draw a celeced cell.

For a global management of style use the properties of the global object GridDrawStyle of TGridDrawStyleEh type.
Use the procedure GridDefaultDrawStyleEh, SetGridDefaultDrawStyleEh, declared in a module GridsEh.pas to access GridDrawStyle the object.
TGridDrawStyleEh type has the following properties:
SelectionStyle: TGridSelectionStyleEh - style shading display the currently selected cell.
DrawFocusFrame: Boolean - Specifies whether to draw a dotted border around the currently selected cell.
To change the style of lighting in all grids of project, use code like this:

unit MyMainForm;
uses ... GridsEh;
....
initialization
GridDefaultDrawStyleEh.SelectionStyle := gsdsClassicEh;
//Draw selected cell by the classic style.
end.

Setting Lookup relationships directly in the columns of the grid without using of lookup fields.

+ A new property - Column.LookupParams: TDBLookupDataEh in columns of DBGridEh and DBVertGridEh.
The property allows you to setup lookup relationship in the grid columns.
The property consists of the following sub-properties:
KeyFieldNames: String - Identifies the field or fields in the dataset that must be matched in a lookup dataset when doing a lookup.
LookupCache: Boolean - Determines whether the values of a lookup field are cached or looked up dynamically every time the current record in the dataset changes.
LookupDataSet: TDataSet - Identifies the dataset used to look up field values.
LookupDisplayFieldName: String - Identifies the field from the lookup dataset whose value is displayed in place of KeyFields.
LookupKeyFieldNames: String - Identifies the field or fields in the lookup dataset to match when doing a lookup.

Other features of this version
