Master Detail Made Easy

ExpressMasterView is a new 100% native VCL grid component by Developer Express and is specifically designed for Delphi and C++Builder developers who need to represent multiple datasets in a hierarchical manner within a single grid control. With ExpressMasterView, you can finally give your end-users a way to view master/detail and self-referencing data in an intuitive manner -- IN ONE ELEGANT COMPONENT!

The ExpressMasterView allows you to organize data into levels, with each level representing a different dataset. Every single level includes its own properties, methods, and events which can be used to completely manage the grid's behavior and runtime display.

The ExpressMasterView was written from scratch and has no dependencies on any other Developer Express components. This means that you do not need to own a copy of the ExpressQuantumGrid to utilize the power of the ExpressMasterView in your next application.

Note: ExpressMasterView is a read/only control. You can display and view data within it, but data editing is not available.

Features and Benefits

The relationships that can be visualized with the ExpressMasterView can be hierarchical (Master/Detail) like orders with order line items, or self-referencing as in the case of charts-of-accounts or bills-of-material. No matter the relationship, the ExpressMasterView can display it.

Like all Developer Express products, the ExpressMasterView can be used immediately in your applications without a steep learning curve. Simply use the component editor to link the ExpressMasterView to your datasets and you will be up and running in no time.

Additionally, the ExpressMasterView introduces a new and powerful method to control the display of your information. Using ExpressStyles, you can direct exactly how your information is displayed without having to resort to writing large amounts of code. Styles can be associated with many aspects of the ExpressMasterView display, including headers, captions, data elements, and group boxes to name a few.

A short list of the features you will find in the ExpressMasterView include:

• Registry and INI-file persistence of layout
• ANSI compare options for sorting and grouping
• Multi-select
• Automatic column width support
• Customization form control for all Master/Detail Levels
• Summaries and footers at all Master/Detail Levels
• Multi-Row Headers/Cells for all Master/Detail Levels
• Automatic Data Grouping at all Master/Detail levels
• Smart-loading and refreshing mechanisms for all Master/Detail Levels
• MS Outlook® style preview for all Master/Detail Levels
• Horizontal and vertical display modes at all Master/Detail Levels
• Automatic column sorting against an unlimited number of columns at all Master/Detail Levels

Remember, the ExpressMasterView was written from scratch and has no dependencies on any other Developer Express components. This means that you do not need to own a copy of the ExpressQuantumGrid to utilize the power of the ExpressMasterView in your next application.

In summary, the ExpressMasterView is a must-have component for all Delphi & C++ Builder Developers no matter if you are developing shrink-wrap, corporate, or vertical-market solutions.
