Grid and its related classes are used for displaying and editing tabular data. They provide a rich set of features for display, editing, and interacting with a variety of data sources. For simple applications, and to help you get started, Grid is the only class you need to refer to directly. It will set up default instances of the other classes and manage them for you. For more complex applications you can derive your own classes for custom grid views, grid data tables, cell editors and renderers. The Grid classes overview has examples of simple and more complex applications, explains the relationship between the various grid classes and has a summary of the keyboard shortcuts and mouse functions provided by Grid.
There are presently no specific window styles for Grid.
gridevt.incThe event handler for the following functions takes a GridSizeEvent parameter. The …CMD... variants also take a window identifier.

Grid.new(Window parent, Integer id,
Point pos = DEFAULT_POSITION,
Size size = DEFAULT_SIZE,
Integer style = WANTS_CHARS,
String name = PanelNameStr)Constructor to create a grid object. Call either Grid#create_grid or Grid#set_table directly after this to initialize the grid before using it.
Boolean append_cols(Integer numCols = 1, Boolean updateLabels = true)Appends one or more new columns to the right of the grid and returns true if successful. The updateLabels argument is not used at present.
If you are using a derived grid table class you will need to override GridTableBase#append_cols. See Grid#insert_cols for further information.
Boolean append_rows(Integer numRows = 1, Boolean updateLabels = true)Appends one or more new rows to the bottom of the grid and returns true if successful. The updateLabels argument is not used at present.
If you are using a derived grid table class you will need to override GridTableBase#append_rows. See Grid#insert_rows for further information.
auto_size()Automatically sets the height and width of all rows and columns to fit their contents.
Grid sets up arrays to store individual row and column sizes when non-default sizes are used. The memory requirements for this could become prohibitive if your grid is very large.
auto_size_col_or_row(Integer n, Boolean setAsMin,
Boolean column)Common part of AutoSizeColumn/Row() or row?
auto_size_column(Integer col, Boolean setAsMin = true)Automatically sizes the column to fit its contents. If setAsMin is true the calculated width will also be set as the minimal width for the column.
Grid sets up arrays to store individual row and column sizes when non-default sizes are used. The memory requirements for this could become prohibitive if your grid is very large.

begin_batch()Increments the grid’s batch count. When the count is greater than zero repainting of the grid is suppressed. Each call to BeginBatch must be matched by a later call to Grid#end_batch. Code that does a lot of grid modification can be enclosed between BeginBatch and EndBatch calls to avoid screen flicker. The final EndBatch will cause the grid to be repainted.
Rect block_to_device_rect(Array topLeft,
Array bottomRight)This function returns the rectangle that encloses the block of cells limited by TopLeft and BottomRight cell in device coords and clipped to the client size of the grid window.

clear_grid()Clears all data in the underlying grid table and repaints the grid. The table is not deleted by this function. If you are using a derived table class then you need to override GridTableBase#clear for this function to have any effect.
clear_selection()Deselects all cells that are currently selected.
Boolean create_grid(Integer numRows, Integer numCols,
Grid::GridSelectionModes selmode = Wx::Grid::GridSelectCells)Creates a grid with the specified initial number of rows and columns. Call this directly after the grid constructor. When you use this function Grid will create and manage a simple table of string values for you. All of the grid data will be stored in memory.
For applications with more complex data types or relationships, or for dealing with very large datasets, you should derive your own grid table class and pass a table object to the grid with Grid#set_table.
Boolean delete_cols(Integer pos = 0, Integer numCols = 1,

enable_drag_row_size(Boolean enable = true)Enables or disables row sizing by dragging with the mouse.
enable_editing(Boolean edit)If the edit argument is false this function sets the whole grid as read-only. If the argument is true the grid is set to the default state where cells may be editable. In the default state you can set single grid cells and whole rows and columns to be editable or read-only via GridCellAttribute#set_read_only. For single cells you can also use the shortcut function Grid#set_read_only.
For more information about controlling grid cell attributes see the GridCellAttr cell attribute class and the Grid classes overview.

For more complex applications where you have derived your own grid table class that contains various data types (e.g. numeric, boolean or user-defined custom types) then you only use this function for those cells that contain string values.
See GridTableBase#can_set_value_as and the Grid overview for more information.

set_col_minimal_width(Integer col, Integer width)Sets the minimal width for the specified column. This should normally be called when creating the grid because it will not resize a column that is already narrower than the minimal width. The width argument must be higher than the minimimal acceptable column width, see Grid#get_col_minimal_acceptable_width.
set_col_minimal_acceptable_width(Integer width)This modifies the minimum column width that can be handled correctly. Specifying a low value here allows smaller grid cells to be dealt with correctly. Specifying a value here which is much smaller than the actual minimum size will incur a performance penalty in the functions which perform grid cell index lookup on the basis of screen coordinates. This should normally be called when creating the grid because it will not resize existing columns with sizes smaller than the value specified here.
set_col_pos(Integer colID, Integer newPos)Sets the position of the specified column.
set_col_size(Integer col, Integer width)Sets the width of the specified column.
This function does not refresh the grid. If you are calling it outside of a BeginBatch / EndBatch block you can use Grid#force_refresh to see the changes.
Automatically sizes the column to fit its contents. If setAsMin is true the calculated width will also be set as the minimal width for the column.
Grid sets up arrays to store individual row and column sizes when non-default sizes are used. The memory requirements for this could become prohibitive if your grid is very large.
set_default_cell_alignment(Integer horiz, Integer vert)Sets the default horizontal and vertical alignment for grid cell text.
Horizontal alignment should be one of ALIGN_LEFT, ALIGN_CENTRE or ALIGN_RIGHT.
Vertical alignment should be one of ALIGN_TOP, ALIGN_CENTRE or ALIGN_BOTTOM.

See GridCellEditor and the Grid overview for more information about cell editors and renderers.
set_default_renderer(GridCellRenderer renderer)Sets the default renderer for grid cells. The grid will take ownership of the pointer.
See GridCellRenderer and the Grid overview for more information about cell editors and renderers.
set_default_col_size(Integer width, Boolean resizeExistingCols = false)Sets the default width for columns in the grid. This will only affect columns subsequently added to the grid unless resizeExistingCols is true.
set_default_row_size(Integer height, Boolean resizeExistingRows = false)Sets the default height for rows in the grid. This will only affect rows subsequently added to the grid unless resizeExistingRows is true.
set_grid_cursor(Integer row, Integer col)Set the grid cursor to the specified cell. This function calls Grid#make_cell_visible.
set_grid_line_colour(Colour colour)Sets the colour used to draw grid lines.
set_label_background_colour(Colour colour)Sets the background colour for row and column labels.
set_label_font(Font font)Sets the font for row and column labels.
set_label_text_colour(Colour colour)Sets the colour for row and column label text.
set_margins(Integer extraWidth, Integer extraHeight)A grid may occupy more space than needed for its rows/columns. This function allows to set how big this extra space is
Integer set_or_calc_column_sizes(Boolean calcOnly,
Boolean setAsMin = true)Common part of AutoSizeColumn/Row() and GetBestSize()
Integer set_or_calc_row_sizes(Boolean calcOnly, Boolean setAsMin = true)set_read_only(Integer row, Integer col,
Boolean isReadOnly = true)Makes the cell at the specified location read-only or editable. See also Grid#is_read_only.
set_row_attr(Integer row, GridCellAttr attr)Sets the cell attributes for all cells in the specified row. See the GridCellAttr class for more information about controlling cell attributes.
set_row_label_alignment(Integer horiz, Integer vert)Sets the horizontal and vertical alignment of row label text.
Horizontal alignment should be one of ALIGN_LEFT, ALIGN_CENTRE or ALIGN_RIGHT.
Vertical alignment should be one of ALIGN_TOP, ALIGN_CENTRE or ALIGN_BOTTOM.
set_row_label_size(Integer width)Sets the width of the row labels.
set_row_label_value(Integer row, String value)Set the value for the given row label. If you are using a derived grid table you must override GridTableBase#set_row_label_value for this to have any effect.
set_row_minimal_height(Integer row, Integer height)Sets the minimal height for the specified row. This should normally be called when creating the grid because it will not resize a row that is already shorter than the minimal height. The height argument must be higher than the minimimal acceptable row height, see Grid#get_row_minimal_acceptable_height.
set_row_minimal_acceptable_height(Integer height)This modifies the minimum row width that can be handled correctly. Specifying a low value here allows smaller grid cells to be dealt with correctly. Specifying a value here which is much smaller than the actual minimum size will incur a performance penalty in the functions which perform grid cell index lookup on the basis of screen coordinates. This should normally be called when creating the grid because it will not resize existing rows with sizes smaller than the value specified here.
set_row_size(Integer row, Integer height)Sets the height of the specified row.
This function does not refresh the grid. If you are calling it outside of a BeginBatch / EndBatch block you can use Grid#force_refresh to see the changes.
Automatically sizes the column to fit its contents. If setAsMin is true the calculated width will also be set as the minimal width for the column.
Grid sets up arrays to store individual row and column sizes when non-default sizes are used. The memory requirements for this could become prohibitive if your grid is very large.
set_scroll_line_x(Integer x)Sets the number of pixels per horizontal scroll increment. The default is 15. Sometimes Grid has trouble setting the scrollbars correctly due to rounding errors: setting this to 1 can help.
Grid#get_scroll_line_x, Grid#get_scroll_line_y, Grid#set_scroll_line_y
set_scroll_line_y(Integer y)Sets the number of pixels per vertical scroll increment. The default is 15. Sometimes Grid has trouble setting the scrollbars correctly due to rounding errors: setting this to 1 can help.
Grid#get_scroll_line_x, Grid#get_scroll_line_y, Grid#set_scroll_line_x
set_selection_background(Colour c)set_selection_foreground(Colour c)set_selection_mode(Integer selmode)Set the selection behaviour of the grid. The parameter should be one of the following integer constants:
Wx::Grid::GridSelectCells The default mode where individual cells are selected.Wx::Grid::GridSelectRows Selections will consist of whole rows.Wx::Grid::GridSelectColumns Selections will consist of whole columns.Boolean set_table(GridTableBase table,
Grid::GridSelectionModes selmode = Wx::Grid::GridSelectCells)Passes to a custom grid table to be used by the grid. This should be called after the grid constructor and before using the grid object. Use this function instead of Grid#create_grid when your application involves complex or non-string data or data sets that are too large to fit wholly in memory.
The table should be an instance of a subclass of GridTableBase which provides a set of methods for retrieving the size of the grid, cell data and optionally other row, column and cell information such as labels and attributes. See that class and the sample for more information on the required methods.
show_cell_edit_control()Displays the in-place cell edit control for the current cell.
Integer xto_col(Integer x, Boolean clipToMinMax = false)NOT_FOUND if there is no column at the x position.Integer xto_edge_of_col(Integer x)Returns the column whose right hand edge is close to the given logical x position.
If no column edge is near to this position NOT_FOUND is returned.
Integer yto_edge_of_row(Integer y)Returns the row whose bottom edge is close to the given logical y position.
If no row edge is near to this position NOT_FOUND is returned.
Integer yto_row(Integer y)Returns the grid row that corresponds to the logical y coordinate. Returns
NOT_FOUND if there is no row at the y position.
