And thank YOU for this powerful and popular control!
My pleasure!. It's good to know it's useful for other people.

If only it supports external data and finer control (eg through callbacks/gates for customized sorting, etc)
Please describe in more details. Maybe some of those are easy to add.

The control is so complicated that I cannot figure out a way to adapt it in those directions.
I know. It's even too complicated to me Especially embedded controls part. Too many options mixed in one place. Not easy to extend. But that's my fault..
Few years ago I planned to create better (with code refactored) GridCtrl 2.0 that would also support grouping and "freely positioned columns" in a header as well as in a row. I know it sounds cryptic but I mean something similar to the grid from DevExpress. They can for example have one column under the other.
I started some work on it but it turned out to be quite complicated and I suspended the work. Maybe I'll get back to it maybe not it simply depends on how many of my commercial apps will use u++ in a future. I really like native apps and I used to choose them over the web apps. But over the time browsers changed as well as html and my point of view changed too.
But I'm still using my control a lot in my existing applications and I'm open to add new features if they make sense. I will also try to finish grid's documentation because it's hard for the users to use all available functions if they are not aware of them
Sorry for a long answer. In fact I wanted to let you know that bug is fixed and the code is in svn. Please check!
