Is variable rowheight a possibility in SlickGrid?

Question

I would like to provide variable row height depending upon the content size. is it possible in Slickgrid?

Can you point me towards any examples?

Answer 1

As non of the forks of SlickGrid are really viable options in many regards, I thought it would be valuable to many readers of this post to discuss alternatives to SlickGrid.

I consider 'viable alternatives' that fully support variable row height to be: each row can have a different row height that automatically adapts to fit the content, and lets the text wrap to the next line.

I have looked into this quite extensively, and unfortunately I have not found viable alternatives that are related to SlickGrid. Of other alternatives, I have only found one that is free for commercial use - dojox DataGrid, however it is not clear how you could use custom editors with this (most commercial ones offer this).

There are quite a few viable alternatives that require payment for commercial use: dhtmlxGrid, jQuery EasyUI DataGrid, jQWidgets, Wijmo Grid widget, JideTable, and Sencha ExtJS Grids. Of these, I would personally say the best is dhtmlxGrid http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/ - Free version is GPL, Pro version is $199.
