Alberto, Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, the DataGridWidget entry in the wiki does not currently have the info that I was looking for. What I was wondering is how to set the object list that a DataGrid widget will use in a non-fastdata environment.
I've been able to get it working in a simpler case where I only have one class in my model but things seem to break down when my model contains more than one class. Perhaps I'm just jumping in at the wrong time and should wait for 0.9 to be released?
