Data Grid 2.0 is the centerpiece of 4D Ajax Framework v11 Release 1 (11.1). It's a powerful, flexible listbox re-implemented for the web, with 80 new commands that give developers tremendous control over presenting data.
If you thought that web application development meant giving up on being able to do a feature for feature or UI match to your current application, take a look at this object and see how much you can do. You'll be very pleasantly surprised!
Some key features of Data Grid 2.0 include:
Data Grid 2.0 allows users to modify a record right in the Data Grid box for faster, more efficient data management.

The Data Grid has a number of different options for text drag and drop capability. This demo shows three ways of implementing drag and drop, but there are many more!
Independent cell styling allows for more control and customization of the UI as well as opening the door to more user control. Developers can use JavaScript controls to dynamically change or override styles for any cell, row, or column.
The 4D Ajax Framework's JavaScript API can be used to perform a number of manipulations on columns in the Data Grid. For example, you can lock one column and allow the rest to scroll, hide columns on demand, or resize them on the fly. There are many other new controls over columns as well. Visit the demo for a few samples!
Additional tools allow developers to customize header and footer rows in their grids.
For a sample of how these rows can be customized, please look at this demo.
4D Ajax Framework v11 also now supports additional graphics types in Dashboard charts: SVG, PNG, and the Google Chart API as well as Canvas.
Note: The iPhone chart area is restricted to 400x200px in landscape orientation or 240x200px in portrait orientation. If there are multiple charts in the iPhone display, a finger tap on the visible chart will switch to the next chart.
