TKproE - Home. GRIDPLUS2: Home Page. GRIDPLUS is a "Grid" based GUI builder system which builds on, simplifies and extends the existing grid manager. GRIDPLUS layouts are defined as a hierarchy of grids. Each cell in a grid consists of two elements. These will usually be a text label and some other widget such as an entry. It is also allowed to have just one element in a cell, or a cell which is empty. GRIDPLUS grids can also be stretched to neatly fill the cells in which they are positioned. While the GRIDPLUS grid can be used "native", GRIDPLUS commands exist to create grids of buttons, checkbuttons, date selectors, dropdowns (comboboxes), entries, menubuttons, links, radiobuttons and spinboxes. The GRIDPLUS gpset and gpmap commands greatly simplify setting the values of the the widgets. In fact GRIDPLUS is much more than an alternative to the grid geometry manager, it provides most, if not all, of the facilities required to build complete screens/windows.
