SortByColumn is a deprecated method, use grid.QSort instead with settings as defined under grid.SortSettings

Either redistribute the Microsoft GDIPLUS.DLL (explained in README.TXT) or remove the gdiplus.dll dependency by commenting the line {$DEFINE TMSGDIPLUS} in TMSDEFS.INC

The method grid.SaveToXLS() uses OLE automation to export to Excel file and thus requires Excel to be installed on the machine. To avoid this requirement, you can use the component TAdvGridExcelIO to export to Excel.

Most likely another TMS component has been installed that is also using the PictureContainer. Due to strict binary compatibility checks of Delphi & C++Builder, it is causing problems to install multiple binary distributed components that share a unit. For using the binary versions, the only workaround is to install the packages alternatingly for evaluation. Registered versions that come with full source do not have this problem.

An older version of ADVGRID.DCU might be in your library path. When upgrading from an older version, make sure to first open all forms in your application that use the grid, ignore property errors on opening, save form files and then rebuild your application.

Make sure the correct version of ADVGRID.DCU and other DCU files are in your library path, that your library path contains the directory where ADVGRID.DCU is installed and that no other versions of ADVGRID.DCU are in your library path. Note that the binary version of TAdvStringGrid cannot be used with Delphi or C++Builder trial versions.

Use a permanently visible checkbox that can be added with the AddCheckBox method

Set goDrawFocusSelected = true in the Options property

Toggle the value of the public property PrinterDriverFix: Boolean

Make sure to use a truetype font. Only truetype font can be rotated.

Assign the OnGetCellColor event to the OnGetCellPrintColor event as well.

Make sure that Navigation.AllowClipboardShortCuts is true and the grid is either editable or Navigation.AllowClipboardAlways is true

In the Options property set goRowSelect = true and set MouseActions.DisjunctRowSelect = true. The desired selection capabilities are enabled now.

The registered version of TAdvStringGrid does not show this copyright notice

At design time, right click on the grid and select About. At runtime, show the version with : ShowMessage(Grid.GetVersionString);
