Thanks Andreas – that lesson explains how it works for Mark much more clearly 
than I could in the space of an email.

Form datagrids are great but they can be a bit slow to render when they contain 
a lot of stuff. I use them to create fairly complex asssessment feedback 
reports (PDFs) to students and I was looking for possible ways to speed up the 
generation process. I guess I’ll just stick with what works.

Regards – Terry

So, Terry is correct: Polygrid and Polylist currently have fixed/uniform row 
heights. I hope that might be enhanced one day. So if variable row height is a 
requirement, you’ll have to stick with the Datagrid for now.

This was also discussed in the Forum last year, including hints on how to 
achieve variable row heights in a Datagrid:
