Hierarchical Grid

The grid now displays data in hierarchical views, allowing nested grids to be attached to a column.  Expandable columns will have + or - icon allowing expand/collapse.  An expanded column will show a nested grid.  Nested grids can also have expandable columns allowing for unlimited depth. Nested grids are separate objects that can be independently sorted and paged as needed.

Fixed Columns

Similar to Microsoft Excel, the grid can lock or freeze columns on the left, while allowing the user to scroll the right region of the data. This improves the user experience when there is much data presented across columns that exceed the width of the display area, allowing users to keep important data in the grid visible at all times.

Row Selection Event

The grid now has a Selected Row Change Listener that can be used to detect when a user selects or unselects a row selection check box.  Developers can now create pages that dynamically react to user input and update the page based on row selection.
