RE: [fw-mvc] Setting a custom parameter for a form

If you take a look at the signature for __construct, you will see the first
arg should be an array of options. I would imagine that you could pass an
empty array as this first arg and then add the rowCount as a second arg but
then you would need to override the constructor.

So, perhaps the 2nd potential solution is better. Just add a createRows (or
whatever you want to name your method) public method to your form class.
Then instantiate the form and call the createRows method. You wouldn't
necessarily need a createRows method as you create the rows wherever, (in
the form class, in a controller, etc.).

Again, I hope that helps.
