DBAwareLabeledComponents

Classic Delphi-VCL Editors plus a Boundary-Label (DB-Aware and Standard) including NumberBox, plus an Extended DbGrid

Actual official version 1.2.1 (VCL)

With this small library of VCL components it is possible to have the classic VCL editors (standard and data-aware) with the addition of a "label" attached to the component itself (like the native component TLabeledEdit).

It is no longer necessary to keep the Label "connected" and "aligned" by hand to the editor: on every component you can specify 3 simple properties:

BoundCaption
BoundLabel.Labelposition
BoundCaption.LabelSpacing (default 1)

The label can be positioned in 12 alignements: lpTopLeft, lpTopCenter, lpTopRight, lpBottomLeft, lpBottomCenter, lpBottomRight, lpLeftTop, lpLeftMiddle, lpLeftBottom, lpRightTop, lpRightMiddle, lpRightBottom

PLUS: An advanced TDbGrid component

TLabeledDbGrid is an advanced version of classic TDbGrid with the boundary Label, plus some extra features:

ShowSortOrder: shows an indicator of sorting column
Embedeed CheckBox for boolean fields
Incremental search, when typing into a ReadOnly DbGrid
Alternate row-color
Custom row-colors
Show sort order
Incremental search
Lines per Rows (to show memo fields with multiple lines)
RowMargin (to enlarge heigh fo rows)

From Delphi 10.3:

TLabeledButtonEdit and TLabeledDBButtonEdit are a classic editor with a button inside (on the right). For Date Fields the button opens automatically a Popup-Calendar.

Look at those examples, showing all the components with different Label alignments: the demo is available into Demo Folder

Sample	Description
	Example of a DbGrid (with some extended functionality like inplace checkbox and sorting) with the label aligned TopCenter (notice that the grid is aligned alClient and the Label is rendered inside the client area)
	Example of collection of Dataaware components with label aligned to "TopLeft"
	Example of LabeledDBCurrencyEdit and LabeledDBNumberBox (only for 10.4.2): Dataware components for numeric input (from right to left) with label aligned to "LeftMiddle"
	Example of collection of Standard components with label aligned to "TopRight"
	Example of collection of components with label aligned to "BottomCenter"
	All components are fully VCL styles compatible
	Example of LabeledDbGrid with LinesPerRow = 3 to show multiline content of memo fields
	Example of LabeledDbGrid with RowMargin = 15 to to change height of grid Row

Support for new NumberBox component

TNumberBox component (available from D10.4.2) is the new component for advanced numeric input. In this library you can find:

TDBNumberBox: the standard component with classic DataAeware support (DataSource + DataField) without Label.
TLabeledNumberBox: a TNumberBox component with boudary label
TLabeledDBNumberBox: a TDBNumberBox with boudary label

Available from Delphi XE3 to Delphi 11 (32bit and 64bit platforms)
