Handle Large Datasets with a Fast, Virtualized Grid

April 11, 2025
Highcharts Grid delivers smooth, high-performance rendering of massive data volumes through intelligent row virtualization.

Highcharts Grid is a feature-rich data grid component developed by Highsoft, designed for use within Highcharts Dashboards or as a standalone component. Grid Lite is a free, lightweight version ideal for developers seeking a performant and accessible data grid with a basic feature set. Grid Pro is a commercial, feature-rich version built for complex applications that demand advanced data manipulation and interactivity. It includes all the capabilities of Grid Lite, along with a highly customizable and interactive interface that supports inline editing, column sorting, and event handling, enabling developers to build responsive data visualization applications.

Highcharts Grid delivers high performance when handling large datasets by employing row virtualization, a technique that renders only the rows currently visible within the viewport. This significantly reduces memory consumption and ensures fluid, responsive scrolling, even when working with thousands of records.

Highcharts Grid Pro requires a license for Highcharts Dashboards, licensed per developer as an Annual or Perpetual License with Internal, Saas, SaaS+ and OEM distribution options. The annual license includes support and all product updates for 1 year and must be renewed to continue to use the software. The perpetual license includes an "Advantage Subscription" for 1 to 5 years which provides support and updates for that period. If you do not renew Advantage then you may continue to use the software at the last release available during the active Advantage period. See our Highcharts Dashboards licensing page for full details.

Enable Rich Data Editing in React Grids

April 8, 2025
Discover how advanced editing and validation features in grid controls elevate user interaction and data accuracy within tabular interfaces.

Data interaction and manipulation features in grid components enable users to engage directly with tabular data—supporting not just the display of information, but also its editing, validation, and contextual input. These capabilities are critical for creating rich, form-like experiences within data grids, particularly in applications where user input and data integrity are central to the workflow. By offering a range of editing modes and validation tools, grid components help ensure that data remains both accessible and accurate, enabling intuitive and efficient user interactions.

Common grid editing and validation features include:

  • Custom Editing provides the flexibility to integrate specialized input controls like dropdowns, calendars, or sliders tailored to the data type.
  • Data Validation applies rules to user input, checking for correct formats or value ranges before accepting changes.
  • Editing/Inline Editing allows users to update cell content directly within the grid without navigating away.
  • Input Method Editor (IME) support enables users to input complex characters and symbols that are not available on a standard keyboard.
  • Popup Editor opens an overlay or modal window for more complex data input scenarios, useful when editing multiple fields or larger content.
  • Read-only Columns enforce data integrity by preventing modifications to specific fields.
  • Required Columns ensure that essential data fields are completed before submission, supporting robust data collection.

Copy and Paste Grid Data in WPF Applications

March 28, 2025
Grant users the ability to perform internal and external clipboard operations when using a data grid in WPF applications targeting .NET 9.

The ability to perform clipboard operations enables users to copy and paste data between the grid and external applications or within different parts of the same grid. This functionality allows users to select one or multiple cells, rows, or columns, copy their content to the system clipboard, and then paste it elsewhere. It supports efficient data manipulation by reducing manual entry, enabling quick data migration, and streamlining the transfer of structured information. Clipboard operations save time in repetitive data handling tasks, ensuring that the movement of grid data is both fast and reliable.

Several .NET 9 WPF grid components support clipboard operations, including:

  • DevExpress WPF Data Grid (part of DevExpress WPF) supports .NET 9 and allows you to copy and paste multi-cell selections with formatting and data validation intact.
  • FlexGrid for WPF (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) lets you copy data from cells to and from external sources and within the data grid in .NET 9 applications.
  • Telerik UI for WPF GridView (part of Telerik UI for WPF) facilitates clipboard operations with bulk copy-paste functionality, preserving hierarchies and formats during transfers.
  • Infragistics XamDataGrid for WPF (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF) supports .NET 9 and clipboard interactions for efficient data transfer in grid applications.
