Re: A DataGrid is not a spreadsheet

A DataGrid is a view of data, such as from a database. Databases and a spreadsheets are VERY different categories of applications. If you need a true spreadsheet, there are so many great ones available (LibreOffice is wonderful and free and open and runs on every platform) it'll probably be
