Improved User interface
As one of the most important aspects besides the advanced features, WebGrid Enterprise
7 comes with various user interface enhancement, such as: a special paste context
menu to complement the SmartBatchUpdate feature and new adaptive status bar.
A special paste context menu is provided for the easiness of inputting multiple
rows of data in WebGrid Enterprise. End user can conveniently copy multiple rows
from external data, such as: Microsoft Excel, and paste it in one click to WebGrid
as multiple new rows.
The new adaptive status bar is intended to give end user a quick access to the most
used WebGrid’s features, for example: paging navigation buttons, batch update operation
button, exporting button, an indicative WebGrid status, and many more. In a simple
property set of the corresponding feature, the complete sets of action buttons will
be shown in the status bar.
Enhanced integration with WebCombo
Since its initial release, WebGrid is best known for its high interoperability,
especially with other Intersoft WebUI Studio family, such as: WebCombo. In this
new version, WebGrid and WebCombo integration is enhanced to support more advanced
scenarios in custom and image column type.
When a WebGrid column is set to display custom image, you can use WebCombo to allow
user edit this type of information better. When WebCombo is used in Custom column
type, WebGrid automatically map the cell’s value to the text field of WebCombo,
while maintaining default inline editing behavior.
Default style merging
Default Style is a feature introduced in WebGrid Enterprise 5 which enables you
to change WebGrid’s overall style in a single property set. However, the limitation
of the approach is that you are unable to customize the style easily. The new Default
Style merging feature is to address this specific requirement. It enables you to
use the Default Style and customized it in any ways you like. To enable Default
Style Merging feature, simply set AllowDefaultStyleMerging property to true. This
new property can be found in LayoutSettings object.
New client-side events for inline editing
With strong focus in data editing enhancement, WebGrid 7 enables developers to have
greater control and customizability over the editing process by introducing four
new client side events. Please visit the online WebGrid documentations to see the
complete client-side events in WebGrid Enterprise 7.
