- Sub: UGridView

- To quote, "the UGridView module is to provide the view that goes 'on top' of a
- list or grid framework. UGridView knows nothing about the underlying cell
- contents...". This unit is good as far as it goes but the inability to
- associate any data with a cell does complicate its use. I have used the
- standard List Manager to store the "underlying cell contents" (mapping a 'Cell'
- to a 'GridCell'). The cell data is stored and retrieved using LSetCell() and
- LGetCell(). This means that I have to use the List Manager - something I hoped
- I could avoid by using MacApp ! If only TGridView had methods corresponding to
- LSet/GetCell()... If only UGridView had been written to implement a grid of
- objects (objects ? yes ! objects as in OBJECT-oriented programming...). I could
- then sub-class the cell objects. Perhaps this could be a future enhancement to
- the module ?
-
- To quote again, "that which does not kill me makes me stronger..." and he
- didn't know about MacApp !!!
