A Data Aware Multiple Record Object
Copyright  1995 Tamarack Associates


Introduction

Tired of TDBGrid’s that cannot display all the fields you’d like without endlessly scrolling
horizontally?  Wish you had a grid where each record could occupy multiple lines, contain
TDBComboBox’s or TDBLookupCombo’s, use different fonts and colors?  Perhaps you’d like to
put some pizzazz in the title?  Maybe even differentiate the current record from the other 
visible records?

Welcome to the TtaDBMRO!  This Delphi component provides Multiple Record Object (MRO)
capability for database applications.  Simply add a TTable, TDataSource, TtaDBMRO, and a
TPanel that contains data aware controls.  That’s it!  The contents of the TPanel are stacked
vertically one above the other.


TtaDBMRO provides the following features:

·	Uses a TPanel that contains data aware controls
·	Can automatically manage the height and width of the MRO
·	Supports user defined titles
·	Provides numerous event hooks to allow for customisation
·	Compatible with InfoPower from Woll2Woll Software
·	Compatible with Orpheus from TurboPower
