Converting an Existing Data Grid to C1FlexGrid

You can convert an existing built-in Data Grid to a C1FlexGrid by selecting the drop-down next to the Data Grid element and choosing C1FlexGrid from the menu. When a built-in DataGrid is changed into an instance of C1FlexGrid, it retains its child elements. Note that the Data Grid Row element is automatically converted into a C1FlexGridRow element, which exposes properties for specifying grouped columns and the visibility of the outline bar. However, child elements representing data columns do not change.

Although the extension is usable with the built-in child elements, some of the enhanced functionality (particularly formatting and colorizing) will be unavailable unless the built-in elements are changed (one at a time) into FlexGrid column controls. Use the drop-down next to each column to convert it to a C1FlexGrid column.
