Help designing questionnaire design

[Leledumbo]

I'd like to create a questionnaire, more or less is like in the attached image. Currently it uses nested panels, but I think it's just too much. It would be better if I can use T*Grid but I have no idea how to put the radio button panel as a cell in the grid. Can anyone help me? Or is there any better approach? A code snippet to add a row would be helpful (so that questions can be dynamically added).

Have a look at the "advanced" demo of Virtual String Tree.

There is a tab that is an example how to use VST as a grid, and another that is an example how to nest a checkbox in a stringtree. Combined it gives a grid with "other" widget functionality.

I use it in my production app at work, it is stable, though has minor visual artefacts.

Where exactly is that? I can't find it in my installation. Is it a 3rd party package?

the following code taken from lazarus/examples/grids/gridcelleditor relates to what you want to insert a radio button in a string grid, substitute the radio button for the combobox.

Code: [Select]

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1SelectEditor(Sender: TObject; aCol, aRow: Integer;

  var Editor: TWinControl);

begin

  if (aCol=3) and (aRow>0) then begin

    ComboBox1.BoundsRect:=StringGrid1.CellRect(aCol,aRow);

    ComboBox1.Text:=StringGrid1.Cells[StringGrid1.Col,StringGrid1.Row];

    Editor:=ComboBox1;

  end;

end;

Doesn't it get called only when I click the cell? I mean, when viewed normally, the radio is not shown.

yes, you are correct, sorry, did not think of that.

Have you had a look at Orpheus controls, they have a table component with check box that may do what you are after.
