twidgetgrid is a tcustomgrid descendent where every inserted widget builds a 
data column. The inserted widgets with their event properties are working as 
if they were placed into a form. This makes it easy to build complex data 
grids with buttons, checkboxes, images, dropdown list edits, memos and the 
like. There is tdbwidgetgrid, a descendant with dbgrid functionality.
The MSEgui layout manager component is tlayouter from tab 'Widget'.
