ScrollingGrid Update

Well, ScrollingGrid has had over 50 downloads in the past two days. Looks like a lot of people are trying it out. Now you have a few more reasons to.

Thanks to DataGridGirl, we identified an issue with the control when working GridLayout mode. The issue was resolved, and a new build is now available online. If you download the new version, you'll also find some changes to the User's Guide, most notably a clarification to the rendering section, and the sample code from the demo site. I also repaired the errors that were occuring in the demo page navigation, and added a button to the page to test out the ScrollBack Retention.

The biggest change I made however, was the one most often pointed out. I fixed the column alignment problem, which was very apparent in the demo. It turns out, it wasn't as big of a deal as I thought. In V1.1, we'll break out the “tweak” constant that we use into a settable property, that way you can adjust it as necessary. I have a feeling it will not be as permanent as I thought.

Everyone that has downloaded it so far, I'd highly recommend that you download the new version. Everyone else, please check it out. I've gotten some outstanding feedback over the past few days. Please keep it coming.

More updates later today.

Paul,

Actually, I have seen it, and it was the reason I created this control. The solution at ActiveUI can take a very long time to implement for new developers, and it not terribly user-friendly. ScrollingGrid is a self-contained server control that is as simple as dragging-and-dropping on a page. You don't have to write any extra code.

PLease try it out and tell me what you think. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
