difference between grid and table layout?

[eos]

Hi, want to create a 3 column table like thing with a solid background and a line between each row (could be part of a background for a row.

I don't want to use a normal table as its too hard to use anything other than the default text only model (I need to add a graphic) and there is not much in the way of example code.

So I plan to use a Box Y layout to represent rows, and in each row position do a border layout with the row data in Center, and the horizontal rule in the S position.  Then in the center have something with fixed widths columns which I can control so I can make the columns line up.    

would the grid layout or the table layout be better for this?  What is the difference between them?

Ideally I need to make some columns centered, and some left justified, which is not possible with a simple table model.

Thanks!

Hi,
You can make cells centered or left aligned in the table layout using the constraint option.

Grid creates an equal grid of components where the width/height of all the elements is 100% identical. So getWidth/Height for all elements in the grid will be exactly the same (when adding the margin too).
