String Grid. Or some form of Data Grid.

[Voltrox]

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can get a string grid like thing that enables me to type in information sort of like Microsoft Access?

I tried "String Grid" and "Draw Grid" and I have no idea how to edit information in them. Does anyone know how?

Please help me, thank you...

Your correct in using a StringGrid.

to access the data in a stringgrid, you need to treat it as a 2d array, for instance:

stringgrid1.Cells[1,1]:='Some String';

or

MyString:=stringgrid1.Cells[1,1];

If you want to be able to type directly into the cells (at run time), then you need to change a property in the object inspector, for the string grid. Set "goEditing" to true (within the options property). This will make the string grid more like Excel.

Hope this helps.

XStringGrid is VERY good. You can make combo box and other complex cells.

IIRC it has some examples.

A while back I wrote my own string grid, it allows you to control each cell color/shape and allows you to put components inside of each cell.

Let me know if you need it.
