Hi Hilmar,

I confirm, filtered grids are slow. Especially when only few records in a table satisfy the criteria. Say, you have 20000 records. Only 20 are problematic and you want to show them in the grid. It's very sloooooooooow...

Unfortunately, our own framework is not build to support views. I have some ideas how to fix the framework, but users didn't complain (may be they are very patient), so we didn't really looked into any alternative solutions...

I also noticed the problem with ScrollBar and discussed it, but didn't get a responce... Scrollbar doesn't behave correctly. I didn't realize, it might be related with a filter...

>>You're quite right, but the grid is the fastest object i know to display data and combinated with a textbox for search it's a ergonomic way to provide data to users.
