how to avoid rendering when calculating a total for checked

Hi



I am currently using static smart rendering but considering getting professional edition so i can switch to paging. My grid has about 2000 rows.



I need to calculate a total for a column in a grid to display it in my custom footer. I am doing it this way.



var size = 0;

for(var k=0;k<mygrid.getRowsNum();k++){

     size += mygrid.cells2(k,5).getValue()*1;

}



However first time it takes really long because all the rows are rendered. Is there a way to avoid rendering in this case ?



thanks

a) you can use private data access method
size += mygrid._get_cell_value(mygrid.rowsBuffer[k],5)*1;

b) grid has built-in data counters
