I have a custom control (mergDataGridScroller) that needs to know when the data is changed. At the moment it requires you to dispatch updateContentRect to it after changing the datagrid data but if it could listen to changes it would be nicer. I can't se anything in the api that helps me with that though.


Will do.

Yeah, I remember.  But that was quite a few years back.

I am simply unwilling to do wire this stuff up by hand every time.  I would rather gargle thumbtacks.  Either I find a way to effectively do data binding or I am moving on. 

I am very spoiled by 20 years of doing DB stuff in FileMaker where the binding is all done for you. FileMaker has it limits though, and it would be nice to break free of those as well. I just want something in the middle.
