Hi - just trying to see if I can use the DataGridView in VWG 6.4 to replace an Infragistics UltraWebGrid. I need to have 'excel' like ease of data entry as the users will need to fill in hours in a grid (it is a timesheet app), so they would typically need to just navigate around the grid and then just type in the relevant number of hours into the relevant cells.
Putting asside the already reported bug of sometimes missing the 1st char typed (if you navigate using the mouse & click), I am finding that if you say start in the 1st column of a row and type 1<tab>2<tab>3<tab>4<tab>5<tab>6<tab> fairly quickly then it is very easy to lose that input. I don't mind a slight 'lag' behind as it clearly is having to make a round trip back to the server between each cell...but it isn't good that it is just losing the key presses.
I'm just wondering if all this is likely to be better/faster in vn 7? I know you have been doing a bit of a re-write of the DataGridView on that version....so should i hold out and re-evaluate then? Do you have a rough idea of when you might have a beta available for testing?
Many thanks in advance...would *dearly* love to ditch Infragistics / ASP.Net for VWG but need to keep the user experience on a par really!
Cheers,
Jonathan
