Footer for any DBGrid

There are many components in the Delphi world giving DBGrid all sorts of features, but there are a very few that have the ability to show some kind of footer.
Furthermore, all of those (well, the ones we could find on the Internet) are either very expensive, or have some "features" we don't like, or don't have all the right things inside.

The perfect solution would be to have a footer component that can attach itself to any DBGrid. However, this is very close to being impossible, so we decided to do the next best thing: a footer component that can be attached to any TCustomDBGrid descendant. And here it is.

With TSDBGridFooter, you can choose the DBGrid component you like most, and use them together. That's why we didn't bother to make "the greatest DBGrid of all", but simply inherited from TDBGrid, and added some code to properly communicate with the footer component. TSDBGrid completely relies on TDBGrid functionality, and it doesn't introduce any new properties. That is why it's so easy to switch to any grid component: just change two lines in SGrid.pas.
