We are looking to port an Excel based application to Silverlight, and if possible using agDataGrid, or a customized version for this.

While we definitely do not need all of Excel's features, here are some of the key Excel features that we would need:

- Merging of cells (critical feature)

- Easy navigation (tab, etc.)

- Row Resizing

Please let me know if these are being planned to be included and also what the plans are for the next version of the Grid.

If you look at Flash/Flex, this here http://riasoft.co.kr/ gives an example of what I would be looking for.

Ralf, please create a suggestions in our SupportCenter http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/ This allows you to track its status.

Thanks. I've submitted a suggesstion in this regard.

I need to do a demo soon, and I need to at least show merged cells. Is there some way that I can do this right now?

I've tried the following approach and it got some level of success for a single cell, but I have trouble scaling the fonts properly.

AgDataGridCell Cell = MainGrid.FocusedCell;
Cell.Opacity = 100;
Cell.RenderTransform = new ScaleTransform() { ScaleX = 2 }; //scale/merge horizontally

What can I do to properly scale the font? Is this a reasonable approach or is there a better way?
