Hi,

Since I've been attending here in UT, it called my attention the high number of messages related to issues concerning grids: a search in the message's area for the word "grid" just this year (4 months), searching in title only, returned more that 500 messages (limited by the UT search engine).

Recentlly Vlad Grynchyshyn even proposed to write a book about grid's usage, and I salute his great initiative (please see message 637133 - "Your opinion about writing the book about VFP grids"), I think that's needed because on how cumbersome, complex, problematic and featureless is VFP's grid class. Of course we can use other grid objects (purchased or not) and avoid those problems and limitations, some of us (how many?) already mastered it.

Question: couldn't the VFP team implement a grid class, that could fulfill VFP developers' needs, usually posted here in UT, and make it richer and easyer to use? (I'm aware there is a wish list, just want to know your opinion!)

PS: I got encouraged to post this message (related to plain vanilla programming issues) after seeing the UT VFP Survey, where it can be noticed the high number of folks developing desktop apps (Single-user desktop: 16%, Fileserver based multi-user: 52%, Fat client with database server: 15% - totals 83%). It seems to me that not everybody is programming web apps or web services (Web-based with fat client: 2%, Web-based with browser: 10% - totals 12%), that (seems to me) is deserving most of VFP team's attention.
