Can you explain the setDataText and setColumnText methods?

These work great for loading my Array into the grid, but I can't find definitions for these methods anywhere in your code.

I was trying to see how these worked to see if I could work up my own grid footer that would function similar to the header (i.e. not take part in the up and down scroll).

Methods setDataText(value), setDataProperty("text", value), setProperty("data/text", value) all do the same thing and are generated automatically by the following call:

obj.defineProperty("data/text");

Basically the control is produced by combining data models and presentation templates. Each model can be implemented as built-in (set of control methods) or as an external object (substitutes built-in methods when attached to the control). Templates have similar methods for accessing the properties of the parent control models.
