Hi Donovan,
You could try TDBCtrlGrid (a native Delphi Data Control component), simply
set ColCount property to 3.

Subject: [DUG]: [Q] Ideas for DB Issue?
G'Day,
I am looking for some ideas on how to tackle a rather simple issue:
If we have the following table:
ID
Name
1,One
2,Two
3,Three
4,Four
5,Five
6,Six
7,Seven
8,Eight
Let's just say that we wanted to display 3 records at a time and that we
wanted to display them __horizontally__. So:
One Two Three
And if we scroll
Four Five Six
And if we scroll
Seven Eight
Obviously normalised db data does not lend itself well to this. I realise
that to achieve the above I could either:
- Have non bound edit boxes and then transfer their changes to the dataset
- Create an in memory dataset with the representation I need and then
transfer this to the actual dataset
However both of these require an intermediary step. I was wondering if
anyone could suggest something else. Ideally I want some DB controls
directly bound. Essentially a DB grid that works horizontally instead of
vertically when scrolling through data.
Any ideas no matter how wacky appreciated. ;-)
