ahh, not true - I've used controlgrids extensively and the row height
property is there precisely for you to control the number of rows to be
visible (obviously dependent on the number of controls placed on each row).
I have never used a navigator with it. Obviously some controls require
certain keys before they are passed to the grid e.g. memo controls and down
arrow. There is some management required here.
