title: DevExpress Quantum Grid Simple guide
body: <p>I am looking for a practical guide to the DevExpress Quantum Grid.</p>
  
  <p>The manual is 4015 pages long and while it is thorough, it is a big big read with too much detail all at once. I have been resisting this Borg of a grid for years, but now I have finally been assimilated by a work requirement.</p>
  
  <p>I have no help from colleagues here. They are all communication challenged. And in fact they seem to mostly be coping with this tool, not using it well. For example one fellow insists on never using it in bound or server mode. It seems to defeat the purpose to me.</p>
  
  <p>Any help of the 'getting started', or 'for dummies' variety to get me using it as effectively as an ordinary grid would be appreciated. I have found a lot of weird idiosyncrasies with it in insert mode bound. I can't really explain what it does because I dont know enough about how it is trying to work. But when I ask it to insert a row, it tries to insert after one cell has data. Something stupid is going on but I dont know why. There are thousands of settings that it could be, and I am not even sure I have the right controls selected to get me to the right options.</p>
