Data Grids
Data grids are used to display data from an ODBC connection.
Properties
Name - The Name property makes the object easier for the RealEdit programmer to identify. Often it is a good idea
to use the same name for related objects, such as a Data Value that represents a Constant.
Caption - Descriptive display text.
Top - The top position, in twips, of the object.
Left - The Left position, in twips, of the object.
Height - The Height value, in twips, of the object.
Width - The Width value, in twips, of the object.
Allow Add New - Creating a new record through the datagrid object is enabled.
Allow Delete - Deleting a displayed record through the datagrid is allowed.
Allow Update - Updating the recordset in the datagrid is allowed.
Font - The type face selected for this particular text.
Cell ForeColor - Color adjusted by red, green and blue hex values or invoking the Color Dialog.
Cell BackColor - Color adjusted by red, green and blue hex values or invoking the Color Dialog.
Column Headers - Show the column headers (column headers will correspond to the field names in the database
recordset.
Tab Index - Controls the order in which objects are selected by using the tab key. This value is this objects position
in the sequence.
Tip - ToolTip text to display. The ToolTip text floats over the object when the mouse pointer is hovered within the
object’s bounds.
ODBC Source Name - ODBC source that the data in the datagrid control is populated from.
Use Navigation Bar - Uses navigation bar to walk through recordset records.
Graphs
A Graph is used to display data values in a RealTime trend format. Any numeric data value may be trended, but only
those values derived from Communication sources can be back filled from datalog data at startup. The chart always
is horizontal, with present time represented on the right. The grid lines act like they are printed on the paper; they
move as the Graph travels from right to left. The Graph will automatically add scaling and captioning for each Trend
represented and will color trend text to match the line.
