The Revolution Data Grid enables you to integrate powerful tables and forms into your Revolution projects. Data grids combine Revolution groups and behaviors to provide you with a simple, yet flexible means of displaying your data in just about any way you want.

Of course we can! The areas of the screenshots highlighted in blue are instances of the data grid control.

This lesson will show you how to create a bare bones data grid table. Data grid tables are useful when you need to display rows of data in structured columns.

This lesson will show you how to create a bare bones data grid form. Data grid forms are useful when you need a less rigid layout than columns in a table provide. A data grid form gives you complete control over the look and feel of each record you display.

The reason a data grid can be customized is because it uses "templates" to represent data. A template is merely a Revolution group that will be copied and used to draw your data on the screen. When working with data grid forms we refer to this group as a "Row Template".

A column template is nothing more than a Revolution control that is named after a column in your table. This control is located in the row template group for your data grid. This lesson will discuss how to create templates for columns in a data grid table.
