Please post any GridView related comments, suggestions and issues to this thread ... haven't heard much feedback yet. Could always drop GridView and go back to working on something more usefull and interesting if that is the consensus.

Just that we haven't had the time and energy to lurk in doesn't mean we don't need it , eh ... ja Rolling Eyes

Ok,

just downloaded build 46 and tried gv.kix.
Must say that this looks pretty cool for a start. Very promising!
.MultiSelect property will be there, right ?

Hey, must've missed the invention of form.StatusBar(), nice feature btw.

hmm...
I know there would be more interesting parts to work on in KF, for sure Rolling Eyes

but, as executioners want this, can't stay on their way...

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when you see this statement:

$GridView.OnCellChanged = "CellChanged()"

What would you suppose OnCellChanged means ?

my understanding would be that the event gets triggered when a cell value changes, either programatically or by user interaction ...

I would also assume the value changed.

thx, i'm trying to draft-up the standard set of GridView events and trying to think of good, intuitive and meaningfull names ... these events should handle grid navigation and grid editing, finding it tough ... if anyone wants to propose a set, i'm all ears ... all events are members of the GridView object itself, objects like columns and rows and cell won't support event directly, they are all defined though the GridView object.

Kelly, have you given the GridView and spin ? Are we on the right track ?

I think so. I gave it a quick look thru last night and it looked like a good start. I have been real busy with work and have not given it the attention I should. I need to port one of my apps over to it to play with it.

For those that are interested in working with the GridView, wondered if you could do me a favor. Could you describe (in words/pictures/scripts) how it is you would like to use the GridView ... for example, would you want the user editing stuff, or would it be mostly for view. Is it important to get Cell editing working, or are mutltiple cell colors with icons more important.

Just want to know what it is I need to focus on for the first pass.

uuhh, that's a tough call ...

I wouldn't want it to be unflexible (hint: editable, for view only).
I don't expect the possibilities of Excel in the end but ...

Jochen · Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2004 12:11 pm Post subject:

That brings up another thought :

Why not developing Listview to work in the 'showroom' department, speak adding all that graphical stuff for views only, and driving Gridview in the direction of being the 'workhog' for editing purposes etc.

whatcha think ?

At the end-of-the-day, lots of these features will be possible. I'm just wondering what features are most important in the short-term. I want to get an up-and-working version as quickly as possible.

k, then editability is most important me thinx
