That's great news. I've always like the NiceGrid component.

Can you post any screenshot?

I like that component as well, but the cursors are missing for now. Could you please fix the commented Screen.Cursors assignments?

Nice! And they works on linux 64 bit too.

 Thought I'd give this code a spin so I started with the button bar

In the button bar
Application.ActivateHint(Pt);  will not compile

The love hate relationship I have with lazarus is the myriad of dependencies.
It probably requires a specific fpc or version of Lazarus
this error was with 9.26.2  FPC2.2.2 win2k. I run 9.26.2 since later versions won't run with the debugger (segsig issues) at least with win2k.
Anyway 9.26.2 it isn't broken and the bugs are well known

they do? grid doesn't work for me on linux32 (haven't tried the rest). it fails to draw anything useful and hangs app on close. did you make the grid work and how?

of topic: 0.9.28 isn't broken; it is your firewall (probably stupid comodo) blocking the debugger.

Sorry, I did not install all components. I thought that the rest probably also works

Can anyone please give me an Idiots Guide to using this with Lazarus v1, as it sounds like something I'd really like to play with!
Thanks

EDIT: I've moved the download to my dropbox (check wiki), maybe tonight I'll make a bitbucket repo for it (sorry, I forgot about my own post about this package).

EDIT2: Bitbucket repository created (check wiki).

Eek, recompiling fills the average Windows user with horror 

Is it likely to work or go wrong?
Still, what's the worst that can go wrong, d\l and reinstall again?

Is there any chance it could be built into the next version if it's a really good grid? Who decides what components are standard?

Could you elaborate more what's wrong? I haven't tested these components since the last post by Dibo (2 years?). It could perhaps need adjustments.

I don't think so, it's very unlikely if no core members maintain it. I'm not part of the developer team, they are the one responsible for this.

@Nebula.  If you are worried about recompiling, just make a backup copy before recompiling.  As for NiceGrid, It isn't fully functional yet so I wouldn't bother too much with it unless you think you can help fix it.
