dojox.grid.DataGrid not extendable if structure defined in markup

[matteo]

extending a DataGrid? is always unsuccessful if the structure is defined declaratively, in HTML markup. However, defining structure programmatically with a javascript object MyStructure?, and setting structure="MyStructure?", is ok. Attached you can find a testcase, taken from a SitePen? example: nothing is shown on screen; the <table> tag seems successfully "widgetified", but no rows are shown. If you add, in <table> tag, structure="layoutCountries", it will work. If you change the dojoType from "TestGrid?" to "dojox.grid.DataGrid?" with or without a structure attribute, it will work the same. (for better trac handling, i've inserted the custom widget directly in the same file, but please note that the bug shows the same with registered widget paths)

Is this a regression?

[Nathan Toone]

This is not a regression.

This will probably never be supported - due to the fact that the grid is quite complex, and it uses a markupFactory (which needs to be chained) to function as desired.

Closing as wontfix.
