Phil,

Oh, I should also have said:

Examples, *yes*, examples are *wonderful*, the more examples the better!  :)

And I'm not trying to make it look like a *list* per se, but more like a
*ListView*, with columns, but including checkboxes, which ListView won't do.
So making the grid lines not show isn't something I'm looking for, but
someone else might want to do so sometime, so an example of it isn't a bad
idea in general.

Most of what anyone could want to do with the Grid Control is *probably* in
"Style.exw" (BTW, thanks for the mention in it!), but there's *so* much
there it's a little hard to find & properly abstract it to use.  That's
where individual examples can be helpful.  In fact, if you were to develop
or obtain a large number of examples, you might even consider using
"RunDemos.exw" (distributed with Win32Lib) to manage them.  It allows a user
to:
1.  see the names & a short description of every included demo;
2.  run any listed demo by double-clicking on it in the list;
3.  see the code in an editor by right-clicking on any listed demo (for
copy-paste);
4.  and add demos with descriptions to its list.
