Grids fields now word-wrap. I imagine that this
will disrupt many finely controlled grids and create scroll bars
where they are not wanted, but it is good to have the functionality
back. I think I would like it to be optional per grid, but could
live without that.
We can once again show extended data in a
grid:
One very nice side-effect is that image links,
which used to be truncated to the row height in 9.0 (and were
therefore almost useless), can now show the full image. This allows
you to easily have images in a grid at last. See our example
below.
You can now opt to have the column widths in a
grid set to a percentage of the total width. This is useful in
itself, and it saves messing about, but it is much more useful when
you have a grid that may expand with the form, of
course.
You can now set the default value for a grid
column as well. This is very useful, and long overdue. As a good
example, you can set a column to be filled with the Folder
Id:
This finally (eight years on) allows us to very
easily create Editable grids that contain records linked to a
Folder. We no longer need complex client scripting or code to
manage this.
Dynamic field size and position.
