License

One software license is required per developer. Full source code is included, software may be used during development without a license. A valid license is required when this software is part of a application distributed/sold/made available to customers/users outside your own organization. If you have a valid license, software may be distributed royaly-free. Licenses are valid for 12 months, a subscription is required to keep licenses valid. Subscriptons must be renewed after the end date. If you are renewing your license before (or up to 30 days after) the current expiration date, the new expiration date will be calculated based on the original order date.

You may install the product on more than one machine as long as each developer has their own license. This allows you to install it on your work, home and laptop machines. Run-time royalty free.

Support is only provided to developers with a valid license.

Installation

Full source code is available from: https://github.com/a-dato/FMX-GRID.gitt Installation steps:

• Clone the git repository to a directory on your local machine.
• From Delphi, open project "ADato.Packages.Group.groupproj"
• Compile all packages
• Select all design packages, and select 'Install' from the popup menu
• Add the following directpries to your library path: adato_grid\adato_datamodel\DataModel adato_grid\adato_datamodel\General adato_grid\adato_datamodel\ObjectModel adato_grid\adato_grid_vcl\Css adato_grid\adato_grid_vcl\General adato_grid\adato_grid_vcl\Tree adato_grid\adato_grid_fmx\Scrollable adato_grid\adato_grid_fmx\Tree adato_grid\adato_grid_fmx\Package

Demos

This software comes with sample applications. These applications are available inside directory 'Samples'.

• DB Inspector, easy to use, fast database editor application
• Datasources, this demo shows how data can be fed into the FMX grid
• MultiColumn, this demo shows how a multi column grid can be setup

IMPORTANT NOTE

Each version of Delphi supports different properties. It can therefore happen that when running or opening a file from the Lynx demo application an exception is raised saying that a certain property cannot be read because this property does not exist.

To overcome this problem, open each file in your development environment, apply a small change to the form (for example: update the position of a component) and save your changes. This will remove any conflicting property from the source code.
