Features

    Buttons and/or combo boxes in cells.
    With THyperGrid each cell can have an edit, a button, a combo box, or all three.

    THyperGrid automatically searches the items of a cell's combo box and suggests one.
    It also provides an event that allows you to implement suggestions yourself.

    So you can have a column heading that covers several actual columns.

    Formatting of cells.
    You can specify that cells be formatted as numbers, dates or times (very similar to Excel)

        Cell color: system color or custom
