Oh my gosh. In other words, no.

But you've heroically added the functionality that was missing. Standing ovation.

I'll need to think about whether I want to add that much code to my app for such a simple thing, but that is good work.

This is straight from the MSDN site. The problem is that it doesn't work when there are more rows in the grid than can be displayed on the form. The example code only deals with 8 rows. When you try to scroll down, it generates an error.
