Helen,
you've got me interested...
I have an application which is about ready to go - based on IBX but I'm
having reservations... thus my query
I notice, though, that IBO also has many visual components, e.g I have
already subclassed the DBGrid but IBO also has one and I fear that not using
the IBO grid would also put me at a disadvantage. Is this correct? Would I
be advised to convert all my code to IBO related controls, and therfore
subclass from the IBOGrid for my purposes?
Also, I imagine that I can still use the IBX stuff for Quickreports e.g.
where it would not work (possibly) with non descendants of TDataset? I think
I've seen some king of assignment from IBOQuery to other Query components.
Is this correct?
Thanks
Alan
