Gridx v1.1.0 Release Notes

New Features

IndirectSelectColumn module

An alternative to the IndirectSelect module. Use a check box column instead of row header. Not relying on RowHeader module, so no misalignment issue. But will scroll with horizontal scroll bar, unless locked by ColumnLock module.

VirtualScroll module

A helper module to make the grid scrollable on touch devices. Just scrollable, no "bouncing" or "sliding" effects yet.

BidiSupport module

Special bidi support for individual columns. To make somes columns bidi, while others not.

Initial FilterBar condition

Filter the grid when it is created (not after, so only one store fetch is needed).

"enum" type for Filter Bar and Filter Dialog

Can provide a Select widget as the value box in filter dialog.

Bar plugin as module

Can easily declare Bar plugins in a module, so that pagination bar, quick filter, summary bar, etc, can be implemented using exising Bar plugins.

QuickFilter module

A pre-configured QuickFilter support widget, used in Bar module, placed at the top right cornor of grid.
