DHTMLX Docs & Samples Explorer

If You Like to Read Introductions

When I started writing this tutorial, I called dhtmlxGrid “the best grid you've ever seen”. But this was too arrogant. It doesn't really matter what I think about it. More important what will you think about it at the end. So, one of the purposes of these set of articles united by common title “dhtmlxGrid. Step-by-step Guide” is to pass you my feeling of dhtmlxGrid, as very useful and powerful ajax grid component… and make you believe that it is SIMPLE, FAST and FLEXIBLE. First of all, I'm going to show you how to do things, then you'll experiment.

In this article I'll show the following:
