Group controls in groupable table

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here is except from discussion about group controls:
http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=3107

When we group large table is it possible to have
pagination controls within each group?

Is it possible to add individual controls for each group header?

Something like:

The built-in grouping behavior doesn't have pagination (all data needs to
be loaded client-side for a purely client-side grouping behavior). Where
did you have in mind placing the pagination controls? As a custom
component, you might built this as a SectionStack of ListGrids..

On controls in the group header, you could do this with an override
getGroupTitle() that produces <img> tags.

It would be very difficult to align columns across groups if we
implement it as Stack of ListGrids.

Also client side grouping doesn't make much sense with large tables.
If you ask to group by you would not even end up displaying all groups
available in whole dataset.

With server side grouping and pagination each group has to be paginated
separately so logically pagination control for each group could be
somewhere next to 'minimize/maximize' group control.

Support for custom header rendering added. No plans to support paging of groups.
