(1) Component description
-------------------------

TAutoStringGrid is a component which extends the functionallity of TStringGrid.
a) At the end of the Grid (last row, last column) using the TAB-key will
   automatically insert a new empty row.
b) Inside the Grid using the DEL-key the actual row will be deleted (without asking)
   and using the INS-key a new empty row is inserted.

Have a look at the demo to see how TAutoStringGrid works.


(2) Important notes
-------------------
a) It's important to set the properties FixedCols and FixedRows to follow:
   FixedRow := 1;
   FixedCols := 0;

   TAutoStringGrid should represant a table with a header-row.


(3) Installation
-----------------
Many times it's described how a component will be installed. So one time more:

a) Choose from the menu COMPONENT the subitem INSTALL.
b) Press the ADD Button
c) Press the BROWSE Button
d) Select the file AUTOGRID.PAS
e) Press OK

--> The component library recompiles.

I don't paint a new image (*.dcr) for this component, so Delphi places the same in the palette
as TStringGrid. If you want a new image:
- open the image editor
- choose FILE - NEW - DELPHI COMPONENT RESOURCE FILE (*.DCR)
- choose RESOURCE - NEW - BITMAP
- set WIDTH and HEIGHT to 24
- press OK
- paint your own image
- save the bitmap as TAutoStringGrid (the same name as the class)
- save the DCR-File as AutoGrid (the same name as the unit)
- copy the file AUTOGRID.DCR in the same directory of AUTOGRID.PAS


(4) Informations
----------------

The next version with more features is still in work.

This component is FREEWARE.
