Show many records without paged-grid

To show records of a vision file we use paged-grids and the majority of our users are fine with that.

There is one customer (and unfortunately our most important one) who wants a “standard scrollbar”.
The answer that this is only doable when we know how many records are 100% does not convince him and he does not let it go.

So we thought of a lazy-loading scenario.
We load and show the first 100 records and when he drags the grid thumb all the way down to the end of the grid we try to load more records.
The problem is that the grid does not give an event when reaching the last record.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this ?
Or do you have a totally different approach ?

Can your grid work as web sites do?

Once you’ve scrolled the 100 rows to the bottom, you could then add a few push buttons to “Load the next 100”, or “go back to the previous 100”.

We use ACUCOBOL-GT grids … does this answer your question ?

Do you have a sample how this could look and feel ?
