Perhaps he means a full featured grid component.

The one thing that has kept me "lurking" instead of using Qt is the thought of 
having to try and emulate the features of, for example, Advantage StringGrid for 
C++ Builder.

Things like import & export, sorting, inplace editing, filtering, grouping, cell 
merging, disjunct rowcolumn selection, printing, search, drag and drop, undo 
redo support and much more.

The market is laden with things like this from Component One, DevExpress, 
Infragistics, Aspose etc.

The model/view approach looks great, but I am not the kind of programmer who 
wants to roll my own list of features on top of it. I suspect there are probably 
many more like me.
