Before digging too much, I would like to know if the new "Row Edit Templates" feature of V8.2 could be easily used to implement mass update functionality ?
ie: The user would select multiple rows, then programmatically trigger the display of the row template in some event (ex: context menu). There would be also some way to inform the user that for a particular column, different values exist for the selected rows (ex: display "<Value>" in the row template CellProxy.
TIA,
Guillaume.
That is an interesting idea. I was wandering about using it for a more advanced filtering/parameter selection entry screen perhaps tied to the filterrow.
Maybe your idea could be tied to the addnewrowtemplate. Will be interesting to see any responses.

The template cannot be used on a FilterRow, though I suppose that you could programmatically change the underlying filters; the CellProxies will never be tied to the FilterRow, though. It can be used to the AddNewRowTemplate, though; I'd recommend playing around with it to see. Both the RET sample in the grid's SamplesExplorer as well as the new sample that ships with 8.2 (I forget the name, is a new application sample) use the template.
