Overview
This document will cover the differences between the two types of grids in the Form Designer. They are the 'Advance Data Grid' and the 'Data Grid'. Both of these components are used to display a list of types to user. At first glance, the when they are run on the same form there are visual differences that stand out.
Which One To Use?
If Custom right-click User Actions are needed on list items, then the Advanced Data Grid component would suit that use case. If Custom User Actions are not needed, the Data Grid should be used.
Data Grid
Data Grids will display all the data members of a complex type like the 'Accounts' type or even any declared user defined type.
| Properties | |
| Columns | Allows the user to choose which column to display by either adding or removing them |
| Default Grouping Columns | Groups the Data Grid list items by a select column or columns |
| PickTypes | Allows the user to pick a composite type or create a type to display |
| Grid Mode | Defines how the data will be output |
Advanced Data Grid
The Advanced Data Grid is configured in a similar way to the Data Grid, with a minor change. Instead of defining columns within the control properties, users will be navigated to the Report Designer. Here, users will be able to add the data fields that will be appear in the grid.
