Grid And List Creation Revision

[JustinVanRegenmorter]

As of DesignTime revision 2115, the add new Grid and List feature should be changed to help make the creation of a list/grid/form easier. Users can now just drag and drop the new List/Grid control and setup service and controls from one place.

When you are in the "Add List / Grid" tab after you put the control on the page then you can set the "Control Name", "Control Type", "Use Name As HtmlId flag", and the "Service Type".

Control Type lets you select between "List", "Grid", and "Form". A List is a default control type and looks like this after it's filled out:

A Grid is similar to the list but is vertical and looks like this:

A Form takes the query results and sets them vertically in a table like this:

The Service Type lets you choose how form your query for the List, Grid, or Form control. You can choose between an Inquire service, a RunQuery service, or other. This defaults to None and if kept selected it will generate an empty list control.

You can setup the services just like you would if you drag and drop the control into the model yourself. Here is what it looks like when you select Inquire:
