There's a new build up (Jan 24) that has several more improvements:

- The grid is done for read-only work and its first incarnation.  There will
be further improvements to this as things progress, such as cell formatting,
etc.  The editing will be finished along with the TDataSet
editing/transactions in the next build.

- You can now set font decoration properties, which is only underlining at
this point.

- There is now a TDateTime type, along with Date(), Time(), Now(),
DateToStr(), DateTimeToStr(), TimeToStr(), and StrToDateTime() functions.
These are *very* basic right now and use the built-in date conversion
functionality in the browser, and will develop further once locale
formatting settings are added to EWB's framework.

Enjoy !

Hi Tim,
I hope that EWB is a great product as DBISAM....
but, I need grids with automatic partial fetching of data like TDBgrid (and
not standard paging), autosort, autosearch and autofilter columns...
.... and lookup combos with incremental searches and autocomplete...
Is too?
Those things make difference...
Good job!

Stefano,

Virtual grids will be available at some point, but not initially.  There are
some serious issues that need to be taken into account with such a setup,
especially if you start editing the data that is being virtually paged.
With a non-paged dataset, you can directly control the state of the dataset
contents, including when data is loaded and when transactions are shipped
over to the web server back end.  This is important in avoiding issues
whereby the user sees an older version of a row that has been edited by the
user but not shipped over to the web server.  As it stands right now, the
TDataSet in EWB is equivalent to the TClientDataSet in Delphi.

The rest of the stuff is trivial, although a) incremental searches are
already in the combo boxes and b) I'm not quite sure what "autosearch" and
"autofilter" are ???

Remember this is V1 also, so "walk before run" is the motto here.

Hi Tim, ok... the most important is that we are in the same direction...
Because, if we have "advanced" and transparent data fetching and a good
searching-filtering criteria, I think that the gap between Web and Desktop
is reduced; so we can easly porting logic without reinvent the GUI... and
customers are happy...
With "autosearch" and "autofilter" I intend the capabilities to search
column values (only indexed or all columns) typing search caracters in
column header. The same for "autofilter". As Devexpress  grid (in Asp.net or
Delphi Desktop, even if they are different)...
I wait for those in (near) future....
Good Job,

Got it, thanks.
