Ability to add a cellControl to a fixedRow

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have a list of around 5,000 records each with 5 fields. In order to make this easily searchable I want to load the collection (virtual load) and then add another fixed row under the column headings with a textbox cell control over the top of each column. The cell controls would allow the user quick and easy search and sorts.

I don't want to place the text boxes above the table as they will not stay lined up with the columns which I'll leave to auto size based on content width.

You can't click a header row to put focus into the row, so in our system we ended up just colouring the row to make it look like a header.

Unfortunately it does mean that it scrolls off the top of the table when the user scrolls the table etc, but the users quickly learn to drag the scroll bar back to the top, or use Ctrl+Home to get back to the start of the table, in order to adjust their filtering.
