DATAGRID: slow scrolling even in the IDE

[Matthias Rebbe]

Bob,

ah that make sense. I will try to implement a switch in the FillinData Handler of the row behavior of the Datagrid. Maybe that solves it.

Thanks for the hint. I was not aware, that the data is reloaded each time it is shown. But sounds reasonable.

Regards,

Matthias
