DataGrid supports that functionality now, it just doesn't do it for you. In my oppinion it _shouldn't_ do it for you. By adding a formatter callback to a column declaration you are able to create edit links in a column. I have even created formatters that add both edit and delete links in a single column. I have the edit links going to a QuickForm page.

Oops, sorry, I missed that. But the documentation states : "Todo: This method needs to be intuituve and more flexible, possibly a seperate column object?" Personnally, I think the .NET way to attach event handlers is very interesting. As I proposed previously this could be done with : $column = new Structures_DataGrid_Column_Link("Edit"); $column->attachEventHandler("edit_callback_function"); $datagrid->addColumn($column); And a convenient shortcut : $datagrid->addButton("Edit", "edit_callback_function");

Are you wanting it to create both "views" for you?

What do you call "views" ? FormView and GridView? If this is what you mean, no, DataGrid is the grid, the form is another control. I think .NET-style inline forms may bring confusion. -- og
