3rd Party Tools for CodeBase
| Many new features have been added or improved with Version 4 of the CodeBase Components. The more notable ones are listed below: |
|
 | Simultaneous Access to Multiple xBASE File Types: With the enhanced
features of the CBEngine component, your programs can now access multiple
xBASE file formats simultaneously! You can even mix database models from
within the same application. Connect to a CodeBase server with one
engine while accessing local data with another, |
| Addition of the "CBDynaSet" Component: The CBDynaSet component
allows you to logically join multiple xBASE files into a single multi-file
relational data set or "DynaSet". The virtual table is then returned
into a TDataSet descendent component allowing you to view its contents with
any of the VCL's native data-aware controls or reporting components. |
| Addition of the "CBExchange" Component: Using CBExchange, you can
import or export data to or from CodeBase files using a variety of file
formats. Supported file types include: dBASE III+, dBASE IV, FoxPro 2.x,
Visual FoxPro, ASCII Fixed, ASCII Comma Separated, ASCII Tab Separated, and
Microsoft Excel's .XLS format. |
| Addition of the "CBKeyDataSource" Component: The CBKeyDataSource
component is much like the VCL's TDataSource component except that it allows
you to establish a specific field as a "Key Field". Then, when the value
of this field changes, an "OnKeyFieldChange" event is triggered. This is
useful when setting up master/detail relationships among tables related by
such a key field. |
| Addition of the "CBMultiEdit" Component: CBMultiEdit is a
general-purpose, un-bound edit control that may be configured to accept
string, numeric, date, or phone number information. |
| Enhanced Access to CBMemSet's Internal Data: The CBMemSet component
has been greatly enhanced allowing you full field-level access to the
underlying data array. This allows you to perform batch or iterative
processes on the data without disturbing the bound data-aware controls. |
| Updated Version of "CBFiler Standard Edition": "CBFiler Standard
Edition" has been updated to include an improved look-and-feel, improved
import/export capabilities, and a greater compatibility with "CBFiler Advanced
Edition" (not include). |
| Support for Delphi 2005's Compiler and IDE: Support for Delphi 2005
has been added including help file integration with Delphi's new HxS help
system. |
| New Properties, Methods, and Events: Many new properties, methods,
and events have also been added to the existing components. Please see
the PDF manual for full details. |
