I like this idea as well (sorry if this is a me-too post :p), the concept of
having a single top-level grid component, into which you can then plug those
features needed by your application makes far more sense to me than having a
dozen grid components each with one extra feature.
I would even suggest that TDBGrid should be dropped and it's functionality
turned into a plugin for this top-level grid component. Unless of course
people feel that would break too much compatibility/familiarity for former
delphi users.
