Thank you. I have reproduced the problem and will ensure a fix in the next maintenance build.

I cannot reproduce your problem. You should be able to type into the control even when it is not dropped down as long as you style is set to csDropDown instead of csDropDownList. If you want incremental searching, you need to set ShowMatchText to true.

The steps I gave are for doing it in the grid field. You can make the TwwDBLookupComboDlg a custom control for the column using the Select Fields Editor (see step 4).

If your combo is in the grid and you want to display the descriptive field from the lookuptable for all rows, then you need to create a lookupfield in your lookuptable. See the delphi documentation on this. 1) Create a Delphi LookupField in the dataset that is attached to the grid. Have it lookup on your keyfield into the other table and return the other result field you wish to display. Then dvl-click the grid to bring up the Selected Fields editor, and add this field to your grid's list of fields. Run your project first to test if your grid is now showing your lookupfield. 2) Drop a TwwDBLookupCombo or TwwDBLookupComboDlg on your form and set the lookuptable to your lookuptable and the lookupfield to be your keyfield. 3) Double click on the TwwDBLookupCombo or TwwDBLookupComboDlg or click on the selected property and make the first field displayed in the list be the (other field) result field. 4) Double click on the TwwDBGrid's or click on the selected property and attach this control to the lookupfield from step 1

@erik.fidlers I emailed you the info and download instructions

@erik.fidlers Not yet. The design tools are still very primitive and there is of course a lack of documentation, but the functionality is there. If you are open to working with me I can get you a copy now and just ask lots of questions.

I have a prototype component, and would love to get your feedback on the design. If you are interested let me know.

Delphi is object-based so exporting is through the export object.

I believe the grid filtering does not currently support alpha characters for months in the ShortDateFormat. Unfortunately I don't see a workaround for this right now without making some significant changes to our code. We could make changes in the future, but the changes would break binary compatibility so it would not appear until the next major update of Delphi. As a workaround, can your users now use 'dd-mm-yyyy' instead?

Its under the methods of ExportOptions in the help file. procedure Save; virtual; Description This method will save the contents of the grid to a file or the clipboard based on the property settings below. Call this method when you wish to allow your endusers to export data from the TwwDBGrid

You need to replace your TwwTable with the Firedac equivalent, i.e. TFDTable. InfoPower can connect to these directly.

Maybe to add a subproperty in OverrideStyleSettings.Data.DefaultTextCellStyle.

@Orrengg I'll log this. Maybe a property would be better than an event.

@Orrengg It should clear it to blank. I'll take a look at the code to resolve this.

Sorry, I am having trouble following your description. To change the style, you should right-click the component and select 'Edit Custom Style'. Then you can change the style attributes. It should not effect other controls.

That would not work, since the wwsearchbox search field is updated when the sort order changes. I have a new update coming out tomorrow that should address this.

Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about TwwSearchBox. I will log this to be included soon.

Any chance you can email us a simple project with the problem? With this I can guarantee a solution.

That is a great question. We already do have master/detail in the same grid with FirePower (introduced in FirePower 12), but its not the same as what you are doing. I need to give this some thought on the best and easiest way to go about this. It sounds like it might be best to have a new grid component with properties to customer the groupings. Does your situation require the ability to still edit the grid or is this strictly an interface to view?
