The data grid is used on the Main Form - Item List View  and other forms to display data in tabular format. Data may edited by selecting the Edit menu or by clicking the Edit Command Button. The grid provides several options for the convenient display of your data. You may: 


  • Sort the columns in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column headers. 
  • Change the column order by dragging and dropping the column header to the desired position
  • Changed the column width by dragging the dividing line between the column headers.
  • Hide and show specific columns by right-clicking the grid and selecting "Grid Manager". You may also enter CTRL+G. You may also use the grid manager to change the column width and/or order.
  • In most cases the values in the grid can be edited provided that TrackPro is in edit mode. When you click on the value to be edited TrackPro will display the appropriate control for the data to be edited. For example, if you wish to edit a date the date selector will be displayed,
