Has anyone successfully create a control that inherits from BaseDataList
(the object that DataGrid and DataList inherit from)??????

Supposedly you have to implement a method called 'CreateControlHeirarchy,'
but this is what the SDK has to say about CreateControlHeirarchy:

This member supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended
to be used directly from your code.

Right.... cause that does me a lot of good.

Specifically, I'm trying to recreate the basic DataGrid functionality, but I
want to make is so that you can select a row on the client side and also add
some buttons outside of the grid that when clicked would post-back to the
page and you would be able to access the selectedItemIndex property.
Additionally I would like to use the up and down arrow keys to cycle through
the rows.

I thought about inheriting from DataGrid and then overriding the Render()
method but I imagine I would have to do a LOT more coding than I want to get
it to work right because of the complex functionality of the DataGrid.
Additionally, I'm not even sure if I would have access to the internal data
that I would need to add the client-side onclick events to each row.

If anyone has seen anything like this working with the datagrid or has
implemented something similar I would love to see it.

Yup, well, it would have been a slimmed down version of it, so recreation
wasn't an issue.

Button column sucks. I hate having a button for every column. I'd rather
be able to click a row and then have one button for edit. In order for that
to work I would have to have Onclick="javaScript: someFunction()" on each
row, but I'm not sure how to get that in there since I don't know if I can
add it to the row object.

personally... I think you'll have much more luck extending the DataGrid than
trying to recreate the control.

as for the button issue... what's wrong with a ButtonColumn?

the up/down keys would take a little creative clientside code which would
postback with the paging commands. you could emit this script in OnPreRender
of the grid.

The built-in ASP.NET data-bound controls implement the
PrepareControlHierarchy method to provide a common code path for child
control creation in both of these scenarios: (a) using the data source
and (b) using the saved view state. The MSDN topic
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=3D/library/en-us/dv_vst=
e
chart/html/vbtchCreatingWebServerControlTemplatesProgrammatically.asp
has an example that shows how to implement this method.=20

=20

You can then invoke the PrepareControlHierarchy from DataBind (using the
data source) and from CreateChildControls (using the view state) w/o
implementing the child control creation logic in each of those methods.
This helps reduce the potential for errors and makes code more
maintainable.=20

=20

Hope that helps.

You can then invoke the =
PrepareControlHierarchy
from DataBind (using the data source) and from CreateChildControls =
(using the
view state) w/o implementing the child control creation logic in each of =
those
methods. This helps reduce the potential for errors and makes code more
maintainable. 

 

Hope that =
helps.

Button column

the up/down keys would take a little creative

Specifically,
I'm trying to recreate the basic DataGrid functionality, but I want to =
make is
so that you can select a row on the client side and also add some =
buttons
outside of the grid that when clicked would post-back to the page and =
you would
be able to access the selectedItemIndex property. Additionally I =
would
like to use the up and down arrow keys to cycle through the =
rows.

 

I
thought about inheriting from DataGrid and then overriding the Render() =
method
but I imagine I would have to do a LOT more coding than I want to get it =
to
work right because of the complex functionality of the DataGrid.
Additionally, I'm not even sure if I would have access to the =
internal
data that I would need to add the client-side onclick events to each =
row.

 

If
anyone has seen anything like this working with the datagrid or has =
implemented
something similar I would love to see it.

Has anyone successfully =

inherit from)??????

 

Supposedly you have to =

about CreateControlHeirarchy:

Right.... cause that does =

You should be able to add the client-side OnClick event by doing
Row.Attributes.Add("onClick","SomeJScriptFunction(this.rowIndex)")
