In my header file, I define

private:
   ArrayCtrl arrayCtrl;
   EditField ef1;

Then in the source file, what's the difference between making this call:

arrayCtrl.AddColumn("Value", 20).Ctrls<EditString>()

and

arrayCtrl.AddColumn("User variable", 10).Edit(ef1);

I did try both. Besides the difference on the appearance, it seems like the second approach gives me on the context menu (right click) a menu item call "Edit Row" for free. But when I select "Edit Row", the row that gets highlighted jumped to an incorrect one.

Long questions short, but
1. What's the prefered method or the use case for each ?
2. In the second approach, how do I make selecting the "Edit row" menu item from the context menu jump to to the right one ?
3. In the first approach, how do I make the edit area occupying the entire cell, leaving no gray area (don't really know how to describe this appearance).

Thanks
