non editable text 2 checkbox
some link
non editable text 3
non editable text 4.

other column has one text field and a checkbox.

a cell with complex data.

i would like to know is it possible to achieve this functionality. i would to know how sorting can work here and i will be sending the data from server as xml how i can represent the data at the server side. When update, or insert of a row takes place how the data will come at the server.

There are few ways to achieve desired result

Most complex and most flexible - create custom excell, which will control how data represented in grid. In such case you will be able control all aspects.

Most simple and most fast approach - use "ro" column type and specify values as HTML inside XML

<rows>
    <row id="1">
       <cell><![CDATA[
              non editable text 1
       ]]></cell>
    </row>
    <row id="2">
       <cell><![CDATA[
              non editable text 2 <input type="checkbox">
       ]]></cell>
    </row>
</rows>

what are the steps to create custom excell.
