Use ArrayCtrl or GridCtrl for new application? [message #14747]

It is not obvious to me how to make a selection of using ArrayCtrl or GridCtrl in a new application.

GridCtrl lacks in documentation is one factor, but not the
most important one.

ArrayCtrl can interface to a database, but I'm not using a
database.

My application requires 15-20 rows by 6 columns.
Each cell must be editable.
Column 1 is EditString ctrl
Column 2 - 5 is EditDouble ctrl
Column 6 is EditString ctrl

This is a touchscreen application where double click does not
exist.

Is there a superiority of one type of control over the other?

Well, I guess, GridCtrl is more traditional, "Delphi like" component.

ArrayCtrl might perhaps be more flexible if you need to e.g. have invisible indicies (I mean, cells in line that are not visible) or combine several indicies to single cell and similar things.

GridCtrl is better if you want high-level utilities.
