Hi Mike,

We're making progress on the grid with the progress bar under each row!  Thanks so much!  A further question: We're using filtering and getting an extra filter row for the progress bar column.  Is there a way to disable this (since we're not going to be filtering the progress bar)?

Thanks Mike!  This looks great and does just what I want!  And I assume I can enable sorting by clicking on column headers?  Filtering?

Hi Mike,

Sorry for the confusion.  I've looked at the sources you sent me but I'm considering using Infragistics controls and don't have the library yet.  I didn't realize what you meant by "fixed". This looks like it could be a great solution for me.

The 2nd part was a solution I was considering in the last paragraph of my original post.  The idea was to implement a background pb i.e. put a pb in every cell and update the appropriate cell to simulate a single pb working across a row.  The pb would show the cell value – but if the value is in the pb rather than the cell, the grid wouldn't have direct access to the value so sorting, grouping, filtering wouldn't work.

Thanks Mike.  Not having column headers is a no go.  And my idea to show all the data in every cell in its own progress bar means the cells themselves won't hold data directly, so it's probably not possible to use Sorting, Ordering, Filtering, all that good stuff. 

Did you have another idea for the progress bar as a background for the row?

You brought up a case I hadn't thought of – namely – horizontal scrollbar wouldn't work.  What would really be cool is a progress bar bound to the top or bottom of each row, or as a background (with the appropriate color changes to cell content) that is sized to the width of the grid regardless of horizontal scrolling!
