  I would find it extremely helpful if wijmo added optional support for generics when using wijmo TypeScript types.

  For example, I would like to be able to say
  
  

  var grid: wijmo.grid.FlexGrid<Employee>;

  
  
  or
  
  

  var row: wijmo.grid.Row<Fruit>;

  and access the strongly-typed members (instead of a generic

  any

  ) when accessing the underlying

  dataItem

  , etc values

  eg https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/generics.html

  Hi,
  
  Thank you for the suggestion.
  
  We have created an enhancement request for this feature with tracking id 264700. If it is found feasible, this will be included in the future releases build.

  Thanks,

  Thank you for your response, Manish. Keep in mind that the two examples I gave above are not exhaustive. There are a number of other places in the Wijmo typings with underlying ‘dataItems’ values marked as ‘any’ that I believe could be improved with generics support.

  How do I track the enhancement request with the id you provided?

  Hi,
  
  We have been created the request for adding support for Wijmo Controls not for FlexGrid only.

  We are sorry, you cannot track this issue. The tracking id is shared since it is easy to find issue id to us for getting updated information in the future.

  Thanks,

  Hi,
  
  The grid is not an array or a collecition, you actually don’t deal much with the data items in it at all. It’s mostly cells, rows, and columns.

  However, if you would like, you may derive a class from FlexGrid and implement Generic Support. (Cross Fingered)
