TDBEditEh
Represents a single or multi-line edit control that can display and edit a field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control.

TDBDateTimeEditEh
Pepresents a single-line date or time edit control that can display and edit a datetime field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control.

TDBComboBoxEh
Represents a single or multi-line edit control that combines an edit box with a scrollable list and can display and edit a field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware combo edit control.

TDBNumberEditEh
Represents a single-line number edit control that can display and edit a numeric field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control.

TDBSumList
Is intended for totaling sums and amounts of records in a TDataSet with dynamic changes. Component keeps a list of TDBSum objects, which contains types of group operations (goSum or goCount) and name sum field (goCount name of field is unnecessary).

TPreviewBox lets you create a customizable runtime preview.
TPreviewBox lets you create a customizable runtime preview.

TPrinterPreview
TPrinterPreview lets you to record printable data in buffer for following output them on screen and to printer. TPrinterPreview have all functions and properties as in TPrinter object. You can use TPrinterPreview object similarly of TPrinter except some details. In TPrinter Printer.Canvas.Handle and Printer.Handle is the same but in TPrinterPreview PrinterPreview.Canvas.Handle represent the metafile in that is recored the data and PrinterPreview.Handle represent Printer.Handle. That is mean that you have to use PrinterPreview.Canvas.Handle for draw operation (DrawText, DrawTexteEx, e.t.c.) and use PrinterPreview.Handle in functions that return information about printer facilities (GetDeviceCaps, e.t.c.). Global function PrinterPreview returns default PrinterPreview object and shows data in default preview form.

TPropStorageEh
Components realize technology to store component properties to/from settings storage such as ini files, registry etc.

TMemTableEh
TMemTableEh - dataset, which hold data in memory. Its possible consider as an array of records.

Besides, it:
Supports a special interface, which allows DBGridEh component to view all data without moving active record.
Allows fetch data from TDataDriverEh object (DataDriver property).
Allows unload change back in DataDriver, operative or postponed (in dependencies of the CachedUpdates property).
Allows to create a master/detail relations on the client (filtering record) or on the external source (updating parameters [Params] and requiring data from DataDriver).

Allows once-only (without the dynamic support) sort data, including Calculated and Lookup field.
Allows create and fill data in design-time and save data in dfm file of the Form.
Allows keep record in the manner of trees. Each record can have record elements-branches and itself be an element to other parental record. Component TDBGridEh supports to show the tree-type structure of these records.
Allows to connect to the internal array of other TMemTableEh (via ExternalMemData property) and work with its dаta: sort, filter, edit.

Has interface for requesting list of all unique values in one column of records array, ignoring local filter of the DataSet. TDBGridEh uses this property for automatic filling a list in DropDownBox of the subtitle filter cell.

TDataDriverEh
TDataDriverEh - carry out two tasks:

1. Delivers data to TMemTableEh.

2. Processes changed records of TMemTableEh (writes them in other dataset, or call events for processing the changes in program).

Furthermore, there are several components that inherited from TDataDriverEh. It is a TSQLDataDriverEh, that have properties to keep four SQL expressions and parameters to: query data, delete record, insert record, updat record and requery one record. TSQLDataDriverEh can not interact with server by itself, but can prepare parameters for request and call global event to transfer SQL expression on processing in application. There are several components that inherited from TSQLDataDriverEh, which can send SQL expressions on the server through the corresponding access engine. It is a TBDEDataDriverEh, TIBXDataDriverEh, TDBXDataDriverEh and TADODataDriverEh components.

TDataSetDriverEh
DataDriver, that delivers records in TMemTableEh from other DataSet. Processes records, changed in TMemTableEh writing them in other DataSet.

TSQLDataDriverEh
TSQLDataDriverEh is a universal driver of data which interact with server by means of SQL. TSQLDataDriverEh have five objects of the TSQLCommandEh type: SelectCommand, DeleteCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, GetrecCommand. Each object holds SQL expressions and parameters to execute command to, accordingly, query data, delete record, insert record, update record and get record. To execute command, TSQLDataDriverEh calls global event - DefaultSQLDataDriverResolver.OnExecuteCommand. You should write this event to execute SQL expressions on the server and, if need, return DataSet to read data. When TSQLDataDriverEh is used as provider of data, it takes records from DataSet created in DefaultSQLDataDriverResolver.OnExecuteCommand event and writes them in TMemTableEh. On the measure of the requirement it takes given current record, writes them in TMemTableEh and goes over to following record. When TSQLDataDriverEh is used as handler of changes, it takes a changed record from TMemTableEh, and call DefaultSQLDataDriverResolver.OnExecuteCommand event sending DeleteCommand, InsertCommand or UpdateCommand as a parameter.

TBDEDataDriverEh
DataDriver, which interacts with the DB server using BDE data driver. TBDEDataDriverEh has one additional property - Database of TDatabase type. This property specify a connection, through which DataDriver will send queries for the server.

TIBXDataDriverEh
DataDriver, which interacts with the DB server using IBX data driver. TIBXDataDriverEh has one additional property - Database of TIBDatabase type. This property specify a connection, through which DataDriver will send queries for the server.

TDBXDataDriverEh
DataDriver, which interacts with the DB server using DBX data driver. TDBXDataDriverEh has one additional property - SQLConnection of TSQLConnection type. This property specify a connection, through which DataDriver will send queries for the server.

TADODataDriverEh
DataDriver, which interacts with the DB server using ADO data driver. TADODataDriverEh has one additional property - ADOConnection of TADOConnection type. This property specify a connection, through which DataDriver will send queries for the server.
