ComponentOne True DataControl

Part of Studio for ActiveX and Studio Enterprise, True DataControl 8.0 is an ActiveX® control that replaces the VB data control with scores of added features to free you from the hours of coding formerly needed to build intuitive database front-end applications.

You can finally stop repeatedly coding business logic, data validation, and error handling in each data-aware control. Just specify business logic, data relationships and constraints, and even user interface and data presentation (e.g., color display of data) features as a set of rules at design time with absolutely no code—True DataControl 8.0 will enforce them at runtime!

True DataControl 8.0 can be used with Visual Basic® 6.0, Internet Explorer 4 and 5, Visual C++® 6.0, and in any Microsoft® development environment that can bind to an ADO/OLE DB data source.

Detailed Product Description

Take Control Today!

Why be limited to the data control that comes with Visual Basic? True DataControl 6.0 is a revolutionary ActiveX data control with scores of added features. It works with standard ADO/OLE DB data sources, as well as any database format or proprietary data sources. TrueDataControl 6.0 replaces the VB data control to give you the robust functionality you demand. Not only do your end users get ultimate data control, but also you get the ultimate RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool to implement data manipulation and business logic at design time with no code!

Coding: Tame That Bad Boy

With True DataControl, you can finally stop repeatedly coding business logic, data validation, and error handling in each data-aware control. Just specify business logic, data relationships and constraints, and even user interface and data presentation (e.g., color display of data) features as a set of rules at design time with absolutely no code - True DataControl will enforce them at run time. In short, True DataControl does just what its name says: it gives you the data control you've been waiting for. Order this product today and see just how easy it is to take control of your data!

  • Replaces the standard VB data control with scores of run time and design time features
  • Royalty-free distribution

    Features:

    Field modifications
    True DataControl can recognize changes to fields made by the end-user at the moment a change has been made, so you don't have to write event procedures for all kinds of controls. No more click events in your code!

    Filters
    True DataControl supports filter expressions restricting the contents of the data source.

    Control properties
    You can assign formulas to any properties of any controls on the form, even if they are not data-aware. True DataControl will automatically change the property each time the formula changes.

    Master-detail relationships
    True DataControl makes it very easy to specify one data source (detail) as dependent on another (master). Master-detail relationships are optimized for the best performance and natively combined with all other True DataControl features.

    Ad-hoc query forms
    True DataControl simplifies the construction of query forms by completely eliminating manual coding and the need for an in-depth understanding of SQL.

    Query mode
    True DataControl brings you the Filter By Form functionality from Microsoft Access, greatly enhanced and much more flexible. You can now do Query By Example in Visual Basic, and without writing any code!

    SQL with parameters
    A limitation of all standard Visual Basic data sources prohibits the use of parameters in the underlying SQL statement at design time. True DataControl remedies this limitation and even allows expressions to be assigned to parameters, so they may be used without any manual coding.

    Calculated fields
    All you need to create a calculated field dependent on the values of other fields is to define a formula. True DataControl will maintain the field's value and update it automatically.

    Default values
    You can specify the value to be assigned to a field in a new record, and even make it dependent on parameters.

    One-to-one links
    In addition to master-detail (one-to-many) relationships, a data source may be placed into one-to-one correspondence with another data source.

    Data in memory
    True DataControl can be used to manage data in memory arrays/variables in exactly the same way as it manages data of a database origin. Just define the fields at design time, and True DataControl will create internal memory storage. This powerful feature enhances all Microsoft and third-party data-aware controls, enabling them to be used in applications and forms that are not necessarily database-related.

    Custom data sources
    As an alternative to database and memory array data sources, you can create customized data sources with event-driven code. This advanced feature is ideal for legacy data and proprietary file formats.

    Free run-time distribution
    No royalty fees required.

    Field and record constraints
    Validation conditions, or constraints, can be imposed upon individual fields and/or upon the record as a whole. True DataControl will automatically test the constraints when the user changes a field or posts a modified record.
