Grid

General options

Striped grids

Displays the odd grid rows in a different color defined by the Strip option available on the Color & Formats page.

 

Show editor immediately

Allows editing the cell value right after the cell is clicked.

 

Always show editor

Set this option to make the cell editors always active.

 

Enable auto-search in grid

If this option is checked, the cursor is automatically forwarded to the closest match when you start typing.

 

Column auto-width

With this option set, column widths are changed in order to display all columns without using the horizontal scroll bar. If the content a column is still too large to display without a need to resize the grid, then the column values are truncated and the hidden characters are replaced with an ellipsis at the end.

 

Cell auto-height

If the widths of the columns are insufficient to display the full content, then text clipping occurs. Set this option to prevent this. If this option is set, the cell content is displayed in multiple lines where necessary. You can set the number of lines to display using the Cell max line count option.

 

Root level options

These options are applied to the main view of the grid. See Grid View for details. The options are described in the Detail level options list below.

Show "New item row"

Displays an empty row at the bottom of a view which is a convenient way for adding data to the grid.

 

Hide tabs for single detail

This option is useful when only one view is present on the detail level. When the option is enabled, the view tab is hidden.

 

Selection

If the Row selection is selected then the whole record in the table is selected in the table on clicking the cell. Otherwise, only the clicked cell is selected ( Cell selection option).

 

Check the Row/cell multi-selection option to enable the selection of multiple cells or rows in the grid with the Shift button.
