Apologies for posting a pic - I hope 16k is still within "reasonable"
limits.
I want to add 'typeahead' functionality to a grid. The most intuitive
solution, I believe, would be to add a 'search' row. Preferably at the
current row 0 position. This search row must behave much as the current
label row, that is, it must be static - either on top of the grid below
the label row, or at the bottom - always visible, not scrolling of
screen as a 'standard' row. Typing in a specific column in the search
row would sort/display the rest of the column entries accordingly.
A perfect solution would be to add a 'anchored row' - a row that keeps
it's row position regardless of scrolling events.
There are several 'solutions' - none satisfactory:
1) a dialog, I hate dialogs, and it does not fit with the 'command
center' paradigm of the rest of the application.
2) a dedicated search grid, displayed below the associated data grid.
Do I have a easy way out or do I have to implement my 'anchored row'
from scratch ?
thanks in advance

There is nothing like that currently, although it has been talked about.
