The DbAltGrid adds the following features to Borland's DBGrid:
- Free-form layout, multiple lines of cells within a row.
- Hierarchical columns structure.
- Auto-scaling of column widths.
- Comfortable in-place editing of numeric, Boolean, date, time, memo, RTF memo, and graphic fields.
- Record view as RTF text.
- Word-wraping cell text and displaying it in a hint window.
- Alternate row coloring.
- Indication of URL in a cell.
- Images in column headers.
- Control of record appending, Enter to Tab key conversion, multi-selecting start.
- Saving and loading a grid properties to and from a text file, a stream, a resource file/compiled resource, or the system registry.

DbAltGrid is a DBGrid descendant and is fully compatible with it. By converting to DbAltGrid, you will not get any code conflict or loss in grid functionality.
