Listbox & listview variants

Hi there

I'm currently designing medical software and am looking for a Delphi
4.0 visual component that has the following properties:

Information is to be listed in columns eg-

PATIENT NAME | AGE  | GENDER
Name1        | 27   | Male
Name2        | 42   | Female   | <EDIT ME>

I'd like the whole row to be selected when a column is clicked in (eg-
click Name1 and the age and sex are highlighted). I'd also like the
EDIT ME button on certain items to call a procedure that edits patient
details. I've been looking at listboxes and listviews, but they don't
seem to have the properties I need.

Can anyone help as I've been looking around and have not had much luck.
I'd be most grateful.

Regards

Dr Alex Chambers

You could customise the flexible TStringGrid or TDrawGrid.
They should be capable of handling the above mentioned needs.

TStringGrid seems to just about fit the bill.

Are you a doctor of medicine? If so, have you any objections to IT folk
treating your patients?

Thanks for your advice.

Yes, I am a doctor of medicine and I am moving into IT. You are welcome
to treat patients, however, I wouldn't mention it to the media or the
GMC!

You don't mention how the data is stored. This can make a real difference in
what component(s) can/should be used.

Re:Listbox & listview variants


The data will be store in an XML format, eg:

<XML etc...>
<NAME>
name1
<AGE>
27
etc...

and will be parsed by a standard XML parser. The appropriate fields
will then be stored in a listbox variant (topic here) for display.
