DataTable

* New event ValidateRow allows you to keep the current cell in a single row
until all data in that row validates.
* Enhanced printing to control text and font for headers and footers.
* Choice of sort algorithms.
* Automatic resizing rows and columns to fit data. Can be performed by user by
double-clicking on a heading/label grid line.

* New events for inserting rows when reading data from a database or if an error

Date Edit

text and colors in cells, as well as spin buttons to change current month.
Numeric Edit
* Turn off automatic incrementing/decrementing with up/down arrow keys.
Known Issues
- Appearance (3d borders) do not appear under Microsoft Visual C++ at design time. These appear correctly at runtime.
- Microsoft Visual C++ hangs when you choose to load or save template. You need to right-click on DataTable and choose Edit from the floating menu. Then click on dialog background (to exit Edit mode on DataTable), and then right-click on DataTable and choose to load or save a template.
- Visual InterDev does not support OLE Verbs, so the template loading and saving options are not available. Use ActiveX Control Pad (which supports OLE Verbs) to load/save templates.
- When you have DataTable bound to an ADO Recordset that is Read-Only, and you add a row to DataTable, DataTable attempts to add the row to the Recordset, but fails. DataTable does not prevent you from adding the row to itself. If you then attempt to remove the row from DataTable, DataTable will not allow you to remove the row because it failed to remove the row from the recordset. Instead of adding the row to DataTable when bound, you should add the row to the recordset and allow DataTable to receive the new row from the recordset.
