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");
