I keep having problems with the following simple functionality:
- I need a simple table to display some text and nothing else
- I started with Table, but then I figured that Grid is supposed to be better, so I've decided on using Grid
- the text I need to display is several rows long, and the grid has a fixed width, so each real row should actually be several rows in height (which is intuitive); so I want the row to simply become larger if the text exceeds the width of the grid (like word wrap)
- the problem is that the Grid and Grid-related classes are extensive: Grid, GridView, GroupingView, GroupSummaryView, RowExpander, and many others, and there are no tutorials on how to use them, so...
- this is very simple behaviour, and means that the grid itself is of auto-height, which is fine; in fact the behaviour resembles the RowExpander simple functionality, with the mention that the rows are alloways expanded
How do I do that (make the row of the grid expand vertically), or what can I use instead of Grid to achieve this sort of simple functionality?
Thanks.
