auto-calculated totals values for whole DataSet and/or for SelectedRows,
4 kinds of integrated totals footers, many variants of drawing totals cells
according to current FixedStyle & FixedTheme and some others improvements.
TXDBGrid component is fully compatible with standard TDBGrid and can be used
as a replacement without losing existing settings. It's also compatible with
Windows XP and can take advantage of Windows XP styles. TXDBGrid has its own
ColumnEditor, which can fully support all new column's properties.
TXDBNavigator represents a gradient database navigator. TXDBNavigator is a
functional extension of standard TDBNavigator. TXDBNavigator introduces

TXQRGrid is a complementary component for TXDBGrid designed for dynamic report
creation on the basis of TXDBGrid current settings. TXQRGrid component can print
and preview the content of TXDBGrid component. TXQRGrid creates in run-time
complete report in QuickReport format. The report can be automatically stretched or
created as few parts (vertical bands) depend on selected paper size settings.

drawing style and parent's background on classic Windows and Windows XP.
