Displaying Data in a grid

Question

I have been looking around for a few hours and I really can't find anything that seems to suit my needs. I'll describe what I need to create.

 

- a table with a fixed number of rows and collumns

- each cell in the table must display 3 key bits of information that I will have stored in a list of objects

- the user must be able to click on each cell and it will bring up more information about that object that is is displaying

- the cell must change colour according to the information it is displaying

 

I feel there aught to be a fairly easy way of doing this but I can't seem to find any way of solving this problem simply.

I have tried using dataGridView but that's more for databases (to clarify I am not displaying a database).

One thing that seemed likely to be my solution was the  tableLayoutPanel but I understand that is more for the layout of elements on the form and not for displaying data.

 

If anyone could suggest any way that I could solve this problem it would be very much appreciated.

 

Regards,

James
