Table vs Grid

[jpnet]

What is the difference between the GXT Table and the GXT Grid? Is Grid just an advanced Table? I've used the JS ExtJS Grid quite a bit, what is analogous JS component to GXT Table?

Thanks,

JP

Table is where GXT came from ie myGWT. Grid is the ExtJS component and had more advanced rendering features (ie grouping, editing etc). I would expect that Table would become deprecated in future releases, but that is just my guess.

Are there any speed differences between the two. We are seeing slow resize performance when we have aound 400 or so rows. Any advice?

Darrell can better identify "why" the following is so, but I believe the Grid widget is supposed to perform much better than the table widget.

In practice, I have seen this to be the case.

I haven't tested the gridstuff yet but I assume that with all the baggage that each table row carries to support various fancy table operations you will most certainly hit the wall after a few hundreds rows in a table.

A good solution is to use paged tables with filters on the top which enables the users to navigate them fast. Additionally, if you don't have too much of multiuser/concurrency issues while working on your tabledata you can always use a memoryproxy for your paging datastore. After the data has been loaded from the backend the paging of a few thousand rows from memory works pretty fast.
