Designed especially for mobile devices
AdvancedList control substitutes ListView and DataGrid controls the way, that it effectively uses small display of mobile devices. Each row of the list is divided into several cells, which can be freely located within the row area. Particular cells can be represented as a text, graphic or hyperlink. Every row can have a different height, so if there is a need to display more data in one row, they can be conveniently distributed to several sub-rows. This technology allows you to display data in a good readable form without a need to use horizontal scrollbar, which is convenient especially for mobile devices.
NEW For the rising demand, we have prepared also the desktop version. What is a good choice for mobile devices can also be a great option for desktop development.
The power of Row Templates
The main feature of the control is a Row Template. Each Row Template defines a style, how data are displayed in a row. There can be several different templates specified for every AdvancedList in a project. This gives you an opportunity to display different data in a different way depending on their character. This way you can define e.g. more detailed look for selected rows, or use the component as a Master-Details control, where master rows have completely different look as detail rows.
NEW Version 1.1 brings powerful XML templates. Design AdvancedLists with templates in the designer, and save it in the XML format, then load the templates on the client device in the runtime. Thus you can easily make changes to UI without modifying the application.
Easy work with databases
AdvancedList natively supports a connection to SQL CE databases, through its DBConnector property. Thanks to this feature, it is extremely easy to set up the whole component in the design mode. Then there is just one row of source code needed to load data into the list and the whole work is done.
NEW The DbConnector is much more powerful with the new DelayLoad option. It loads only visible data for fast preview, and loads more data only when needed. This feature allows you to display table with thousands of rows in a second.
Version 1.1 brings also the support for standard DataTables. This allows you to work with alternative data sources such as XML files or Pocket Access databases using the ADOCE data adapter.
Advanced graphics capabilities
If you need to show graphics with your data, or you like more colorful design, then the AdvancedList is the right control for you. Graphic Cell object gives you an opportunity to display any graphic in your data row, or set its background to a specific image.
