grid: add paginator

[Matthias Sch.]

is it possible to add a paginator to the grid like: ​http://www.trirand.net/demoaspnetmvc.aspx

[Adam Peller]

David may be able to point us at the discussion or another ticket. My take is that a paginator is a very different widget, since the 'virtual scrolling' feature seems directly at odds with pagination. It's hard to me to think of a case where the two would be needed together.

[David Schwartz]

We are working on this feature for grid. There is no ticket in place for this feature at this time; I suppose we can now use this one.

BTW, I don't understand why it's so hard to envision having paging and scrolling working together. In fact, the example provided above uses both.

[Adam Peller]

David, that example has a scrollbar. It does not use virtual scrolling. Virtual scrolling and pagination defeat each other. Having the overhead of both in the same widget is probably undesirable.

By "I don't understand why it's so hard to envision having paging and scrolling working together. In fact, the example provided above uses both.", I think David also meant using paging and real scrolling(non-virtual) just as the sample shown. Yes, pagination conflicts with virtual scrolling, so once pagination finished, only one can be enabled in EnhancedGrid?. Will use this ticket for tracking EDG pagination.

looks like these are ones that evan is working on

EDG

The new EDG pagination (targeting 1.6) looks like as attached "edg-pagination.JPG". Patch's being uploaded...

[Adam Peller]

should a paginating grid be a separate widget? how much of the grid or edg grid code applies? a paginating grid widget would likely be much smaller and lighter than the existing grid widget.

(In [23028]) Refs #10914. Proxy commit for evan (CCLA). Fixed incorrect encoding of the file in trunk. Code clean: coding style, remove redundant code, more cleaned fetching logic. Reuse connect/disconnect in _Plugin base class. Fixed a potential memory leak issue caused by mixin'ing wrong parameter in _createPaginators()
