Flamerobin code used with wxLua

I never used wx's ODBC classes; I'm using SQLite3 (via wxSQLite3) / FireBird (via IBPP) databases. I already have -hand written- Lua bindings of wxSQLite3 and IBPP. In a recent C++ project, I used wxGrid/FireBird (code taken from FlameRobin); I like it. Now I want to test/use them with wxLua.

Displaying multiline text and blobs

Milan wrote on the mailing lists :

I have implemented the ability to show blob data in the grid and now the
need to show multiline text has increased. I have some ideas about it,
but I'd like to see as much possible feedback as I believe many users
are using multiline text columns. Here are the ideas of UI to cover
it:

a) show tooltip while mouse hovers over cells
b) show tooltip on some user action (like double-click)
c) have a separate subwindow (split grid or sql editor adding another
column to it) which stays on screen until user closes (hides) it
d) have a separate window/dialog that would only show the data

c) and d) is something I plan for Blobs with tabs for
text/hex/image/etc. representation, so maybe it is the best idea for
text as well? Such dialog could have some options like 'save to file'
and similar.

Please give any comment or your own idea. I might even set up a
website poll if we can't figure out what is the best solution.

Thanks,
