Yes.
This grid contains invoice headers, customers, items.
User can edit them directly in grid, each row is commited to database when
moving out of row.
Desktop GUI issues in MONO:
WinForms - MONO WinForms does not have DataGridView nor its Virtual grid
implemented.
WinForms is no more developed by Microsoft. Even MonoDevelop itself does not
use it.
So there is no future.
GTK # - No Virtual Grid support. Few use in .NET applications, no binding
support. Less documentation, less samples, less users than WinForms
WPF - according to MONO Winforms mailing list will probably never
implemented.
So there is no reasonable desktop GUI in MONO .
Any idea how to resolve this crisis ?
Andrus.
