Custom Property Data Limit?

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Just for the hell of it, I made a custom property of a button with one billion chars, 100,000,000 lines of ten chars. If I ask it for line, say, 28455999, it gives it instantly.

Bob, 

Using the GetDataForLine Callback is the technique that I was referring to that 
forces you to have a fixed row height.

sqlYoga produces arrays that are compatible with datagrids, so that a simple 
query for all the records or even a subset of records, and then set the dgData 
of group "myDataGrid" to theDataA or something of the sort.

get a list of the columns in the table so you could set the keys of the array 
properly. It's a bit more complicated that way.
