I still don't see a need for that extended handling, because the ctl
always allowed row selections (and column selections can be achieved
from SELECT ...., a basic SQL feature... )
Very often in my work, I would not know exactly what columns I need the
data from until after I see the results of the query. Someone would
walk into my office and say "What's wrong with Joe Smith's account?"
I'd run a query to get an overview of the account, and what columns I
needed would change depending on what looked to be wrong. It's a lot
easier to click on the cell I need and hit copy than to run another
query to narrowing things down.
Users dont care about virtual controls or not.
They do. It's the speed issue, esp. on non-win32.
The implementation I did was 4x faster than the old implementation,
which apparently had been acceptable for a long time, but also offered
more features. There was no tradeoff to that work, unless you had a
phobia of grids.
Yes I do have a wxGrid phobia. Making the frmEditGrid 80 % solution to
90 % was painful enough, and things tend to not get easier on the last
10 %. If you like fixing it in frmEditGrid, fine.
The main speed issue was on gtk, and my small 1k row testcase did *not*
show improvement. The current solution is ok for 10^n rows, as long as
libpq and the OS can handle it. All previous versions, including yours,
simply stalled.

Andreas
