Is it correct that a fix grid has exactly only one property "rowheight" which is then applied to all rows.

What we would need:
- at minimum allow to separatly specify the height of the header row.
- better still: allow to specify row height individually for each row.

It looks like that with these changes, the fixgrid is not so "fix" any more, so maybe this will give a new control named "flexgrid".

Hi,

the ROWHEIGHT is applied to all lines including header and footer lines. We could open up to separately define the row height of header and footer lines - which makes sense in case you define a quite high ROWHEIGHT.

We added it to our mid term items list.

An individual row height is not "appropriate" ;-) This is the nature of the grid. Otherwise e.g. scrolling will be a problem. The grid reuses cells, i.e. when scrolling through the list then actually the data behind is pushed through the grid cells. We do not say that this is un-doable but just doubt if we should really spend the effort.

You also have the possibility to generate the XML from your application for a certain area. I.e. in HTML you typically generate some content by producting HTML dynamically - the same you can do with XML of CaptainCasa, too, of course. E.g. in the tools, the documentation, control overview is built in this way. Then you may put into a scrollpane etc.

With today's update (published in late afternoon) we added the following attributes:

FIXGRID-HEADLINEROWHEIGHT
GRIDFOOTER-ROWHEIGHT
GRIDHEADER-ROWHEIGHT

Now, you can flexibly assign a height to the headers/footers. The content lines are still defined via ROWHEIGHT - each content line having the same height.
