A few weeks ago I asked for recommendations on custom string grid components for Borland C++Builder 5.0. I investigated a lot of grids and decided on the AdvStringGrid from TMS Software and I wanted to tell the list why. The AdvStringGrid is actively being developed by TMS while many of the other grids have not been updated for a long time. The AdvStringGrid has built in functions for saving grid contents to file and loading the file back into the grid and also has OLE drag and drop features. Having these features built into the grid has saved me a huge amount of programming hours. It also has a large list of other features which may save me just as much time later. So make sure you evaluate this grid before you purchase an extra grid component.

Finally, a chart control that hits the sweet spot! As a product, AdvChart has the right approach. It's still very simple to use, the price is perfect, the code is included and easy to modify to taste and things that would be hard to add later or by the user are already taken into account like multiple panes.

Excellent components, enhances and improves the end product. Support is excellent. Reply promptly and always have an answer or fix, something which is important when trying to develop software to a deadline. Would highly recommend the components and the company to any fellow Delphi developers.

P.S. My Boss is very happy with the Planner Components. Best purchase he's made this year he reckons.

You always have the coolest components for Delphi--nobody else even comes close.
