Cell Types

Essential Grid uses a control-sharing architecture. While a combo box may appear in many different cells (even with different drop-list content), there is usually only a single combo box that is moved around and populated as needed. This architecture allows Essential Grid to have many different controls without the overhead of creating multiple controls of the same type. You can even create your own custom control types. Other samples like, Derived Cell Control Tutorial, Cell Buttons and Virtual Tree Grid have examples of derived cell controls.

Here is a list of the different samples under this category:
