[MonoDevelop] re Can't get basic code to work

[Patrick Barry]

Have a look at the source code of monodevelop itself. I am clueless
with GTK (personally I think the vbox hbox thing is daft we had
anchors for resizing in delphi years ago) but  I could see that the
treview was been used like a windows forms datagrid in the monoquery
plugin in monodevelop.

Monoquery has inherited from the Treeview to make a data aware grid view.
 I quickly got a little application going using this  inherited
component from monoquery. I have written a little application in which
I can write queries in a text view and execute the query to view the
results in the treeview - works great!

Have a look at
monodevelop/Extras/MonoQuery/MonoQuery/Gui/DataGridView.cs and the
other assemblies it references it will teach you loads!
