Cgridview In 3Rd Party App

Hello there. After using Yii for new projects for a while now I am wanting to use Yii code in a 3rd party app. I am currently trying to use CGridView like so:

   //CGridView Widget
   $model = new SaveExport;
   Yii::import('zii.widgets.grid.*');

   $grid = new CGridView;
   $grid->dataProvider = $model->search();
   $grid->filter = $model;
   $grid->columns = array(
        array(
            'name'=>'name',
            'sortable'=>false,
        ),
        
        array(
            'name'=>'tag',
            'sortable'=>true,
        ),
        
        array(
            'header'=>'Date',
            'name'=>'date_time',
            'sortable'=>false,
        ),
    );

   $grid->init();
   $grid->run();

  //The model->search();
	public function search()
	{
		$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
		$criteria->compare('id',$this->id);
		$criteria->compare('name',$this->name,true);
		$criteria->compare('tag',$this->tag,true);
		$criteria->compare('date_time',$this->date_time,true);

		return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
			'criteria'=>$criteria,
		    'pagination'=>array(
       			 'pageSize'=>10,
    		),

		));
	}

However I keep getting CSort and CPagination errors because both classes try to call createUrl() using the controller object and there is no controller object. My question is how do I create a controller object for an app that only calls Yii::createWebApplication('../includes/yii_config.php'); Is this even possible? If I remove pagination and sorting then it works but I know I am missing some fundamental knowledge about how to generate a dummy controller. I.E a controller that is only instantiated so CSort and CPagination can call the necessary controller methods.
