Hi Bart,

just having a look at the declaration, haven't skimmed through code yet,

do you also plan to add a TStringGrid-like interface for cols and rows

http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/grids/tcustomstringgrid.cols.html ?

(i understand that not all TStrings does, will make sense in table row/col context...
like we wouldn't want to let StringTable.Rows[rowindex].Strings[colindex].Delete 
to delete the entire column, or shift the data to close the gap...)

I wonder why nobody thought of this kind of (non-visual) TStringGrid before ? :)

I guess the TStringGrid has become very visually-centered and it's not possible
to split the visual from non-visual there any more without serious work ;)

Kind Regards
