I would go with the 2 column format and parse all your data fields as text in the format that you want the data displayed. If you are going to provide editting then you will have to convert all your data back to the correct data type before updating. If that is the case, I would add a 3rd column with the data type as a hidden column, to help in the data validation process.

That would work if every field was the same data type. However, they are different data types and as far as I can tell, data types are defined per column. I suppose I can try defining a different field type by individual cell unless someone has a better idea. I'm all ears.

Couldn't you just feed the data into the grid as a table with 2 columns ("Table", and "Data"), so the grid is still the same, but each table will be a different row rather than a column?

I actually have this same requirement. I have some tables that only have one row per parent record and have a lot of fields, making it impractical to use the horizontal grid.

I tried to figure out how to do it using the hints you gave but am kind of stumped. Can you offer anymore insight into how to accomplish this?

Hi:

Thanks for your answer. I checked the demos, but I can't quite get the idea of it. I looked at the example for "Grid view mode", how do I use it? Thanks!

Hello,

Direct is not possible, but you can construct the grid and use viewGridRow to achieve this - see demos.

Best Regards

Hi:

I'm trying to accomplish this functionality, I'm not sure whether it's possible. What I need is to display the grid data in a vertical manner, like this:

Field1: Value1

Field2: Value2

Field3: Value3

Instead of:

Field1 Field2 Field3

Value1 Value2 Value3

Is there a simple way to achieve this? Thanks!
