Expanding embedded grid

[DerekPapworth]

Hi there,

Is it possible to have an embedded grid in a form, in the middle of a form not bottom, that expands depending on the number of active rows? Currently you can fix the rows or allow it to use screen but if it's in the middle of a form it doesn't quite work so for instance with an Order form having an embedded grid of Items for the order, with other fields after the grid when there's two Items it shows two rows then if another item is added it shows three rows etc., with the following fields appearing immiediately below the grid?

Thanks,

Derek

Would a footer/header solve the problem?  The footer/header is fixed on the screen and is always visible so the full screen grid could grow as items are added, but would never cover the footer/header.

Hi Rob,

The header/footer might work, I'll give that a try .. to be honest it's not a big issue, using the fixed row option (set to say 3 or 4) will probably be ok but what would help on that would be some indicator (scroll bar or arrows maybe) that shows when there are more rows than displayed? Currently it's only when you actually scroll down into the grid and then down the rows that you suddenly then see there's more there so with an indicator of sorts that would be fine.

Hi Derek,

Yes, an indicator is a good idea and would make the grid more intuitive. We'll work on adding that into the product.

A field indicating the number of rows in the table could be used as an aid in the meantime. Something like "Items in cart: 9". The field's value could be set with a data change script bound to the grid which simply sets the field's value to the number of rows in the grid.
