I have some data in xml format which I need to display in a table. Typically, items are perhaps 1 -2 paragraphs long (perhaps 200 words). The datagrid seems an ideal tool, but - based on my very limited knowledge - it doesn't seem to allow multiline entries. Is there a way to make it do it? Or, is there a more appropriate component?

Thanks

Or is the answer so blindingly obvious that everyone is too embarrassed to mention it ;-)

If you see the tips for grid (http://www.laszlosystems.com/developers/community/forums/showthread.php?threadid=878), use the text component as indicated, you can set it to a multiline text component.

I shall go and try to understand all of that.
