Remarks

IIndexGrid gives you access to the functionality common to all index grids.

Using the XLabel and the YLabel properties, you can set or retrieve the label for each column and index in the grid. You can access the number of rows and columns of the grid with RowCount and ColumnCount.

The QueryCellExtent method allows you to get the envelope of any given cell in the grid.
