### Introduction

wxGrid and its related classes are used for displaying and editing tabular data.

### Getting started: a simple example

For simple applications you need only refer to the wxGrid class in your code. This example shows how you might create a grid in a frame or dialog constructor and illustrates some of the formatting functions.

        // Create a wxGrid object

        grid = new wxGrid( this,
                           -1,
                           wxPoint( 0, 0 ),
                           wxSize( 400, 300 ) );

        // Then we call CreateGrid to set the dimensions of the grid
        // (100 rows and 10 columns in this example)
        grid->CreateGrid( 100, 10 );

        // We can set the sizes of individual rows and columns
        // in pixels
        grid->SetRowSize( 0, 60 );
        grid->SetColSize( 0, 120 );

        // And set grid cell contents as strings
        grid->SetCellValue( 0, 0, "wxGrid is good" );

        // We can specify that some cells are read-only
        grid->SetCellValue( 0, 3, "This is read-only" );
        grid->SetReadOnly( 0, 3 );

        // Colours can be specified for grid cell contents
        grid->SetCellValue(3, 3, "green on grey");
        grid->SetCellTextColour(3, 3, *wxGREEN);
        grid->SetCellBackgroundColour(3, 3, *wxLIGHT_GREY);

        // We can specify the some cells will store numeric
        // values rather than strings. Here we set grid column 5
        // to hold floating point values displayed with width of 6
        // and precision of 2
        grid->SetColFormatFloat(5, 6, 2);
        grid->SetCellValue(0, 6, "3.1415");
