I would like to suggest a couple of enhancements for the DataGrid2 widget that could significantly improve its flexibility and user interaction capabilities.
Firstly, it would be beneficial to allow both checkbox and row click selections to be active simultaneously for row selection. This dual selection mode would enable users to select rows through checkboxes for precise selection while also allowing for a quicker, more intuitive selection method via row clicking. This feature would particularly enhance the usability of the widget in scenarios where users need to manage multiple selections efficiently.
Secondly, adding the ability to configure row widths in pixels or percentages would offer much-needed flexibility in designing the grid layout. Currently, the inability to precisely control row widths can limit the design and user experience, especially in applications that require a more customized or responsive layout. By allowing developers to set row widths explicitly, we can ensure that the DataGrid2 widget is more adaptable to various design requirements, improving the overall appearance and functionality of the applications.
Implementing these features would not only enhance the DataGrid2 widget but also align with Mendix's commitment to providing versatile and user-friendly development tools. I believe these improvements could significantly impact how developers design interfaces and how users interact with data within Mendix applications.
