[DUG] InfoPower

[David Brennan]

I think you get the DevExpress editors with the quantum grid suite? Not sure
exactly about the packages but you would want to get one which includes the
editors too, they work together and are a large part of the attraction.

 

DevExpress is complex because it does a lot but having said that the code is
fairly well structured (class wise) and written. Great functionality and
pretty decent support. It has been a long time (13 years?) since I used
Infopower but it was procedural spaghetti code at the time. I don't really
know more about other control sets because DevExpress does virtually
everything we need and is fairly easy to extend so we're happy.

 

Having said that DevExpress Delphi controls don't support right to left
languages (which irritates us) so if you care about that it might be a deal
breaker (and if so please let them know, been asking for a while but it is a
big job and they don't seem to see it as a priority).

 

Cheers,

David.

I can't comment on InfoPower, I do use DevExpress grids and other DevExpress
components daily. 

They work well, if DevExpress components do what you need, I recommend them.
They can be a bit complicated compare to say what the default Delphi offers,
so there'll be a bit of a learning curve.

Hi all,

I'm beginning in on writing some Windows applications using Firebird and I
was looking around for a decent toolset. I'm using the new Delphi XE2 and
wondered if others had recent experience with InfoPower.

I have had excellent experience with this tool but that was about 10 years
ago now.

The alternative is the DevExpress ExpressQuantumGrid Suite which is actually
cheaper, but it's not just the grid I'm after.

Any comments anyone?

Steve
