You save valuable coding time and your end-users get the functionality they need. True DBInput also features an interface that permits its controls to be linked directly into a cell in ComponentOne True DBGrid Pro.

Main feaatures:


-Built-in Data-entry Aids

Dates can be entered using a handy drop-down calendar, and numeric fields can be entered using a drop-down calculator.

-Automatic Data Translation

Database values can be automatically formatted for display. For example, a numeric Social Security Number can be displayed with the hyphens without storing them with the data. Dates and times can be presented to the end-user in a readable format independent of the underlying data storage format.

-Data-sensitive Displays

True DBInput enables you to use color-coding to signify meaning in data entry. For example, you can display negative numbers can be displayed in red, or define dates as holidays or other significant days such as payroll dates, and display them in a special color in the dropdown calendar.

-Integration with ComponentOne True DBGrid®

True DBInput controls work seamlessly with ComponentOne True DBGrid to provide a complete solution for grid-based data entry. For example, you can display a calendar when the end user edits a cell containing a date value.

-Automatic Character Filtering

Tables of valid or invalid characters can be established to insure only valid characters are entered by the user. This means no more writing code to make sure the end-user doesn't try to use letters in a Social Security Number.

-Automatic Data Validation

Dates, times, and numeric values can have maximum and minimum values set as properties, eliminating the need for range-checking code. In the case of dates and times, the controls handle data validation.

-Wide Range of Input Masks to Choose From

Select from a choice of pre-defined edit masks, or data values, for input and display, or define your own.
-Smooth Input and Navigation

True DBInput provides smooth data input, selection, and key navigation styles. These can also be easily adapted by end-users in a short period of time.
