Developer Express Components

[NuWood]

Hi

Has anyone had any experience with Developer Express components

http://www.devexpress.com

specifically ExpressDbGrid and ExpressDbTree

They look great on the web and the demo download but there is no evaluation VCL to try. I am using corelab ODAC for ORACLE connectivity and wish to verify that these components work.

Looking for good or bad comments either in general or specific to database connectivity issues....


thx

Andrew

They work ok here with D5 and MS SQL Server with ADO.

Personally, I don't like 3rd party stuff in general. But I must admit they have a pretty good product. Bit of a steep learning curve, though. Lots and lots of properties to learn about.

I'm told the users have grown to love the grid component. Neat stuff without programming: sorting, filtering, grouping, etc., and tons of editors: check boxes, combo boxes, calendar (take your pick for various columns).
