The "new" ASP 3.5 ListView control has a grouping mechanism built-in.
For the EO Grid, I can already see ways to program this in code -- but before I launch into that, is there an equivalent or other way to accomplish this is the EO Grid?
And is there any sample VB code out there for accomplishing it?
For example, let's say you have a list of requests for a manager to approve. The status of these requests are either "new", "on hold", "past due" (or whatever). The status is a database field. So, I could sort by this and then programatically populate the grid to put in dividers or blank rows between each section (?)
If the user changes the status, I have to use my own code to write back to the DB and refresh the grid, etc., etc.
Is it built in to the EO grid somewhere? Is the code already out there? Or am I a pioneer here as far as row grouping?

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no grouping support on the Grid in its current version. We are however in the early planning stage for this feature. In the mean time, one possible solution is to use a TreeView and a Grid together to build a Windows Explorer like interface. It looks very different than grouping but is also very helpful in term of navigating.
Thanks!
