Sarah, I'm guess that the ability to use formview with ux controls still hasn't been implemented? Formview is hidden when I try to use that setting. I typically don't use formview controls and prefer custom controls anyway, but I have a project where it would make good sense and it uses bound tables rather than lists.

Given that the ViewBox control is considered to be lightweight, do you think it is a good/wise substitute for a grid component?

[Lance Gurd]

I have, over time, replaced most of my grids with lists, and am now converting most lists to ViewBoxes. It requires quite a lot of coding to be able to edit the data in them, but they are more lightweight than the list. There are a few things I miss that you can do in a list that you can't easily do in ViewBox, but I don't miss anything about the grids that I have replaced. For speed of making a form to get something working, my go to is a list with a detail view then I will invariably work on converting this to a Viewbox with fly in panels for editing purposes for a more lightweight component.
