Re: Huge Grid Component?

Just curious ... why would anyone want to be able to display 100,000 rows
in a grid ? ... who would have the patience to sit and scroll through so
many lines and with 100 columns ? Wouldn't it be better to incorporate
filter / search functions to control the scope of this data and thereby
minimize the demands required both of the grid and any network loading ?

I have been building two-language dictionaries for my translation job and I
load the entries all at once in a VirtualTreeView, so the user can move
around just by scrolling, no need for typing/clicking filters, etc. My
German-English dic has almost 600 thousand entries. It does take a good
while for loading (about 15 secs), but once it does the user can browse from
A to Z in a flash. It has 3 columns, though, not 100.
