Provides all the necessary classes needed to build real-time grids and integration with other systems.

Grid instances are constructed from an XML definition.

A grid can be defined inline, where the grid specifies precisely which row model, columns and decorators it has. An example of an inline grid is displayed below:

<grid displayedColumns="description, rate">
    <gridRowModel>
       <caplin.rttp-container-grid-data-provider container="/CONTAINER/FX/G8" />
    </gridRowModel>
      <columnDefinitions>
       <column id="description" />
       <column id="rate" />
       <column id="size" />
    </columnDefinitions>
      <decorators>
       <dragDecorator />
    </decorators>
</grid>

Alternatively a grid can be defined using a template. This allows central configuration of the core characteristics of a particular type of grid, which can be modified without having to update every grid instance. An example of a grid defined with a template is included below:

Grid Definition

<grid displayedColumns="description, bidSize, bid, ask, askSize" />

    </templates>
