Question

Is there a way to combine two column cells? i have 5 columns in my grid, but every 10 columns i only have 2 columns filled with data. and the second data is so long (string) that i wanna use the other 3 columns for drawing the full information. is that possible?

Answer

I see your point and this would be good functionality. Will make a note in the todo list. Currently you must do something like this: Create the cells that you want to combine as CustomCells, then when you draw the custom cell, you identify the other two cells (in the group of 3), find out their rectangels, find out if they are on screen etc; calculate a grid cell that is big enough to cover all three cells, then draw your data into this (with gdi commands).
