Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):

KeoBTV is a set of components with which you will be able to handle the Btrieve database by Delphi 4. The components allow a native access to the database. Btrieve, as you know, is a database which doesn't contain the description of the tables as dBase or Paradox for instance. Usually DDF-Files are used to store the descriptions. KeoBTV stores the description in an own data dictionary to offer more conveniences. You can indirectly import DDF descriptions. With the data dictionary you can build your data description fast and clearly. KeoBTV consists of few components and a set of mthods to access data. The components are:

  • KeoBTV - TBTVTable: Gives you acces to the database. Here you define the connection to the desired table
  • TBTVEdit: One Edit component for all field types
  • TBTVScalar: Similar like a combo edit, but the values are stored in the data dictionary
  • TBTVSimpleGrid: Grid component
  • TBTVNavigator: To navigate by clicking through data
  • TBTVScrollBar: Additional to the grid component to acces data by a scroll bar

Additional there exists a set of edit components depending on the type of data like Integer, String, Float, Date and Time. The have the same look and feel an behaviour as the TBTVEdit component KeoEDIT

  • TValEdit: String
  • TIntEdit: Integer
  • TFloatEdit: Float
  • TDateEdit: Date
  • TTimeEdit: Time
  • TScalEdit: Scalar

A complete application also needs the possibility to print data. Because we didn't find a useful report generator we created KeoPRINT. It is an unusual report printer! Very fast and very versatile! KeoPRINT:

  • One component on the form which defines size, name, accessable fields, areas, main table of the report
  • External report designer: The user can design his report himself without compiling the application - Very complex reports are possible you don't need 'sub reports'
  • You have to program some pascal code but you can solve nearly each problem A simple list needs only two lines of code!
  • Fast design of report by drag and drop of variables, text, shapes and pictures
  • Static and dynamic pictures
