Recent Grid Enhancements

This upcoming build of Milos has some enhancements to all our grid controls that I know some of you have been waiting for:

• The grid now supports resorting of bound sortable collections.
• The grid now automatically (and optionally) remeasures grid row heights when columns are resized. (This is only important in scenarios where grid rows have dynamic heights).
• The ListBase class (the "mother of all Milos grids") had a problem with owner drawn rows that used variable (non-standard) row-heights. In some special scenario with very few rows shown, scrolling the grid via the mouse wheel caused an exception to be thrown. This has been fixed.
• As listed in the previous post, there were a number of databinding enhancements.
• Some people reported problems using the ScrollBottom() method. This has been fixed.
• The grid now provides better access to the grid row collection. The collection now is enumerable and strongly typed. Both the column and row collections have also been performance optimized.
• In some rare scenarios, reassigning a data source of the grid caused row selections to go all out of whack. This has been fixed.

In general, quite a few optimizations have been applied to the grid.
