[Tutor] creating tables

[shendric@arches.uga.edu]

Hi all,

Thanks for the help with exit handling and what not.  Here's another 
application that I'm playing with.  I'd like to have a widget that is a 
little editable table.  It has a fixed number of columns, but can have 
as many rows as the user wishes.  I came up with a class for a table 
row, but I'm trying to decide on the best implementation for creating 
new rows, when the user wants to create a new one.  

There has been so much discussion on dynamically creating classes, so I 
hate to bring it up again, but it's kind of crucial here, I think, and 
I'm still trying to get a handle on the details.  In essence, the idea 
here is that when a user requests (by an event), a new row is created in 
the table.  I'd like for each new class to be uniquely identified, 
because the program will need to eventually export the contents of the 
cells to a file.  So, it would need to iterate over each instance and 
export that instance's contents.  Also, the user might want to remove a 
row, in which case, the instance would need to be removed.

Sounds like a list, to me.  So, I guess the question is: can I create a 
list of class instances, adding a new instance every time the user 
requests, where the reference can be removed when the instance is 
destroyed?

Sorry if this sounds a bit cryptic, and a bunch of questions packed into 
one, but if anyone's got any ideas for any part of it, they would be 
very welcome.  Also, if there's already a module to handle such a table, 
that would be cool, too.
