can dhtmlx support some custom cell types.like select…
dhtmlx grid row height…
can dhtmlx support serval new beautiful css skins,like bootstrap(twitter)

so,i will send more and more my ideas.i am a free user…i am so sorry…i am poor…but i like these lovely things.i hope dhtmlx get more and more better.and my english is very poor…

#3

First of all, I propose to improve the speed of loading data into the grid.
In big data sets (over 30,000), it’s really lazy.

#4

I Found dhtmlxgrid and dhtmltreegrid has a fatal Defect Relative to other products，for example jqgrid,extjs grid and treegrid.
The Problem is dhtmlxgrid and dhtmltreegrid is very very slow when update many row cells value,for example:
get 5000 row of treegrid cell, almost 6.5 seconds,
the method is
for(var i=0;i<5000;i++){
grid.cells(‘rd_’+i,0).setValue(‘1’);
}

the meaning is when i change parent node’s checkbox value,but it has more than 5000 row data, I will need wait 7 seconds for check all subRows.

UPDATE:(I’M ERROR IN IE9 It need 6seconds,But in Ie7 or ie8 or ie6 it need more than 20seconds),Very Sorry

Unfortunately it’s not available to improve the performance in this situation.

Smart rendering improves the performance for displaying the big number of the rows, but when you need to edit big mount of rows, you need to render all of them. this requires some period. Most of the browsers do this logic fast enough, but old versions of IE (6-8) cannot handle with such mount of data

#7

Thanks for your reply,But I have found in slickGrid is always render in smart mode and do the same thing is very quickly. Why?
beside,If your can provider a method like updateFromXml() locally to execute update operate,because It is very quickly.
and use filter plugin to get all checked row,because it is also quickly

Hi,

Mobile scheduler uses dhtmlxTouch library that allows to define any “Layout” structures. So, you can put Mobile Scheduler into layouts with two rows for example and fix height of one of this rows:

... dhx.ui({ rows:[ { label: "Header", height: 30 }, { view: "scheduler", id: "scheduler" } ] }); ...

Hi,

I also would like to wish for a much higher performance in Grid/Treegrid, esspecially with drag&drop functionality.

We got very big tables with a lot of columns.
Everything works very nice, but only big drag and drops of 1000+ elements are a problem we cannot solve yet. We get always script timeouts.

Maybe you can have a look at the SlickGrid and take over some of those ideas implemented there.
github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/wiki

If the performance cannot be improved, I would wish for a fix for the script timeout.

Hi,
1 - I need possibility to do sorting for some columns ( exspecially with dataConnector ) - with + Shift or Alt key;
2 - your solution to transfer data to excel is slow, then have some thousands records . I tried another grid from jqWidgets - export to excel works very fine and quickly ( with the same some thousands records ) . Something similar will be fine and with Dhtmlx … ;
3 - I know that copy/paste possibilities in many browses are disabled . But maybe you can suggest alternatives for that ? Simply it’s very handfull to programatically copy some points of records from one grid , and then paste them for inserting and etc… ;

With best regards !

#12

Adding …

4 - pressing columns header for sorting . Here are 2 state of sorting - asc and desc . The 3 state - not sorted column , as it was before - it will be fine …

#13

I mostly use the grid and form controls. It’s taken me some time to get up to speed learning how to use these properly.

What would have helped is better organised and more complete online documentation (including the code samples, which often omit both explanations and code). Some of the documentation is very good, but much of it is either incomplete, inaccurate, out-of-date, or just poorly-written (I appreciate the fact the DHX staff appears to be mostly Russian, but since English is, for better or worse, the international language of information technology, I would suggest hiring documentation specialists who have excellent English language skills).

Да?

#14

Add methods to control styling properties of the grid ‘combo’ excell, similar to those available in the stand-alone DHTMLXcombo box.

For example:

enableOptionAutoHeight
enableOptionAutoPositioning
enableOptionAutoWidth

Thank you.

It would be great, if we can get rid of using XML.
Especially with dataProcessor, you have to use XML as transfer back to the client.
If I don’t want to use XML, I nearly have no chance to.

Best regards

Read only check box in Grid. The “solution” offered in the link below is needlessly complicated: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1428&p=3937&hilit=read+only+check#p3937
