A new Outlook for your database applications...

The Janus GridEX is a 32-bit ActiveX Grid Control, designed to display and manipulate data using an easy and intuitive user interface patterned after Microsoft Outlook. Janus GridEX, has built-in multilingual sorting capabilities, the columns can be sorted as strings, numbers or dates (even while grouped).

With the unique grouping capability of the control, a user can drag a column header and drop it into the "Group By Box" and the control automatically presents the data grouped by the chosen field.

When a record is added or updated, the control places that record in its proper position based on the current group/sort settings.

Janus GridEX is a data-aware, fully editable component that hooks directly to databases, by using either Data Access Objects (DAO 3.5) or the new ActiveX Data Objects (ADO 2.0). The control makes its own data binding in order to perform its sophisticated data manipulations. The Janus GridEX also has a powerful unbound mode for managing data in any format without losing its group and sort capabilities.

A programmer can set special format settings (font color and styles) for rows that meet certain criteria and even one condition for the groups and the control shows the number of items who meet the criterion.

The control also offers an innovative "card view," which provides an easy means of browsing through data.

Janus GridEX is only available as an electronic download
