Sorry, for calculated fields that can be edited I don't know an easy
way. The only one I know is provide a separate object stringlist that
must be keep in sync with the dataset (inserts/deletes), tedious and
error prone.
And since calculated fields already store a value internally, just
it's blanked every time to be provided by the OnCalculate event, I
assumed that the improvement for IBO was easy, just a flag far from it.
For "grid foot total", the problem is the same. If you move columns,
you must have a visual control that follows this, if you resize some,
the same. I've found easy only with the requirement that columns width
and order can't be changed (totalization done scanning buffers, then
setting a label at the bottom of the grid).
Now that TurboPower components are going to be open sourced, native
IBO components need to keep their advantage over standard VCL ever
more. Or, in any case, I think that this is useful in many situations,
don't you?
