[comp.windows.x] 'Grid' widget?

Here's an interesting question... does there somewhere exist a widget
that allows one to make arbitrary (N-of-many) selections from a grid?

I'm thinking of something with functionality similar to the 'bitmap'
editor; that is, a matrix of arbitrary size with elements that are either
on or off.  Hopefully it would be intuitive to use; if you clicked on
an element that was 'off', it would change to 'on', with similar support
for a 'drag' function (to turn many elements in a rectangular area
on or off).

For instance, say one wished to cross-index MoTuWeThFrSaSu with hours,
and be able to arbitrarily select any combination of days/hours...

Does anything like this exist?  If not, I'll probably end up writing it;
anyone have any suggestions as to functionality or implementation?

Thanks,

Marc
