Excuse my misunderstanding you. I'm usually concerned with function
more than form. I note also that it would be easy to construct an
object from those records where an Object Inspector component _would_
work very well for displaying it.

A drawgrid.

No, I do not have examples. The available examples should show you
how to draw the node background. I don't even know what a devexpress
verticalgrid looks like.

VirtualTreeView does feel complicated until you get your head around it.
It's a different way of thinking. It's also immensely powerful anf
flexible and this may be reflected in the amount of code you need to
produce to make it work just so.
