Hello Uno

I have some petitions to be implemented in GridCtrl.
If they are already implemented please tell me how to do it:

1. A kind of FindColumn function
Giving a column name, it returns its column index.
It could be like this:

int GridCtrl_FindColumn(GridCtrl &grid, String &colName) {
	for (int i = 0; i < grid.GetColumnCount(); ++i) {
		if (grid.GetColumnName(i) == colName)
			return i;
	}
	return -1;
}

There is only FindCol(int id). I've never needed searching by column name that's why such method doesn't exist Smile

2. Copy to Clipboard including column names row
At least an option to let this copy to clipboard behavior.
This way when copying a grid to an spreadsheet the column names would appear.

I will modify SetClipboard method to do that

3. A kind of ReadCol function
A function to read a column (or part of it)
It could be like this:

Vector<Value> ReadCol(GridCtrl& grid, int col, int begin, int end) 
{
	if (begin < 0 || end >= grid.GetRowCount() || col < 0 || col >= grid.GetColumnCount())
		throw Exc(t_("Wrong param. in ReadCol"));
	
	Vector<Value> v;
	
	for(int i = begin; i <= end; i++)
		v.Add(grid(i, col));
	return v;
}

There's only ReadRow. I agree having ReadCol would be useful too

4. A kind of GetGridData/SetGridData functions
Some functions to set GridCtrl data to a Vector<Vector<Value> > and the opposite.
They could be like this:

Vector<Vector<Value> > GetGridData(GridCtrl& grid) {
	Vector<Vector<Value> > data;
	
	for (int row = 0; row < grid.GetRowCount()+1; ++row) 
		data.Add(grid.ReadRow(row));
	
	return data;
}
void SetGridData(GridCtrl& grid, Vector<Vector<Value> > &data) {
	grid.Clear(true);
	if (!data.IsEmpty()) { 
		int nrow = data.GetCount();
		int ncol = data[0].GetCount();
		for (int col = 0; col < data[0].GetCount(); ++col) 
			grid.AddColumn(data[0][col]);
		grid.SetRowCount(data.GetCount()-1);
		for (int row = 0; row < grid.GetRowCount(); ++row) 
			for (int col = 0; col < grid.GetColumnCount(); ++col) 
				grid(row, col) = data[row+1][col];
	}
}

I'm not sure if these methods should be part of grid api. I'll think about that.

5. Xmlize
A simple implementation could be like this

template <> void Xmlize(XmlIO xml, GridCtrl& r) {
	Vector<Vector<Value> > data;
	
	if(xml.IsLoading()) {
		xml("data", data);
		SetGridData(r, data);
	} else {
		data = GetGridData(r);
		xml("data", data);
	}
}

Yes, easy loading/saving from/to xml would be nice.

I'll try to add most of requested functionality in a few days.

Thank you

Best regards
Iñaki
