Add Excel-style Editing to Grid Views

October 1, 2025
Smart UI v24.0.0 offers new extensions providing spreadsheet-style formatting, navigation, and selection to your Smart UI grids.

Smart UI by Smart HTML Elements is an enterprise-grade UI library offering pre-built web components for developers in Angular, React, Vue, Blazor, and JavaScript. It boasts over 60 ready-to-use components like grids, charts, schedulers, and editors, all featuring two-way data binding, responsiveness, accessibility, and theming capabilities. This library helps developers rapidly build dynamic and modern web applications with consistent look-and-feel and rich functionalities, accelerating development time and ensuring professional quality.

The Smart UI v24.0.0 release adds support for grid spreadsheet extensions which bring familiar spreadsheet‑style formatting and editing capabilities into the Smart UI grid component. Users can now apply formatting like bold, italic, underline, strike‑through, and set background or text colors directly in cells, much like working in Excel. These extensions also improve usability via selection behaviors, keyboard navigation, copy‑paste, and merging or spanning cells, making it easier for end users to manipulate tabular data without switching between tools. For developers and enterprises, these features mean reduced friction in building data‑heavy applications (dashboards, admin UIs, reporting tools), faster time to market since fewer custom implementations are required, and richer user experience for non-technical users accustomed to spreadsheet interfaces.
