Seems like TeeGrid https://www.steema.com/downloads/gridvcl can address most of my requirements. Will give it a try. Feel free to recommend options.

I use the FMX TGrid control but I really miss some of the DevExpress TcxGrid behaviours yet I would like to go cheap this time and use OSS one. I am in search for a grid with: * Multi-column sorting * Ability to show/hide columns from UI * Filter Control (which shows a hyeretical tree control in a new form allowing picking columns, oeprators and operands) ala the DevExpress one * Bookmarks/Goto to Bookmark * Footer * In-place eidt for numeric and text * Display of custom drawn cell with images in cells * reoder columns with drag and drop * resize columns from ui * freezed column * Inplace seearch (go to the next found row with substring martch while typing) * grouping is optional I am aware of: * https://www.devexpress.com/products/vcl/fmx/data-grid/ * https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/tmsfmxgrid7.asp * https://www.devmachines.com/download-for-delphi.html But I am in search for a free control

Searching the Internet I found function RawStr(const Str: string): Pointer; begin Result := TNSString.OCClass.stringWithUTF8String(PAnsiChar(UTF8String(Str))); end; at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17499819/control-mplayer-via-pipe-in-macos-with-xe4

In which unit the RawStr() function is defined please?
