Referring to my previous post non uniform rowSpans in a grid produces extra column I would like to modify the output so that some rows have no wholly encompassed cell as follows:

          col 1           col2            col3
      +---------------+---------------+---------------+
Row 1 |               |               | SSArt 011     |
      +               +               +---------------+
Row 2 |               | SArt 01       |               |   <----- Col 3 Row 2 spans 2 rows
      +               +               + SSArt 012     +
Row 3 |  Art 0        |               |               |   <----- Row 3 has no individual cells shown
      +               +---------------+---------------+
Row 4 |               |               | SSArt 011     |
      +               + SArt 02       +---------------+
Row 5 |               |               | SSArt 011     |
      +---------------+---------------+---------------+

When processing row 2 col 3 is given a rowSpan of 2. Then when processing row 3 no row and thus cells are produces by the call to newRow(RowRenderer) from GridDataLoader. But looking at GridDataLoader I see that if the RowRendererExt doesn't produce a row then a row is produced automagically by GridDataLoader. And it appears that since all locations in Row 3 are already occupied the cell produced for row 3 is placed to the right of row 2 thus creating a new column.

I have tried producing a row 3 in the RowRenderer and setting row.setVisable(false). This results in the row text being blank but still displays the space for the row in the 4th column.

I do not see a way to override the row production and just not produce a row #3.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you
