oh this is great ! I loved QT for having this and hated MFC for not having this 
It would be even more great if these could be specified within the .layout files, to achieve this you would need to make the GridLayout be a CEGUI custom widget, I think.
Maybe the two files (.cpp/.h) could be uploaded to the CEGUI server, so if noware.info should go down in the future, these great files are still available !
edit:
there should be a link to the article somewhere on the page, so nobody misses it. maybe in the FAQ, create a point "how to lay out my widgets in a grid like for QT/Gtk" ?

my suggestion is to create a contrib directory where code such as this could live. similar to how wxWidgets has a contrib directory in their source release.
just a thought.

Good idea! Makes me somewhat proud to see my code there

I've been investigating the code base to see if that's possible and I think it is:
One can create a custom GridLayoutWidget with a property defining the layout of its children. The solution via the property is quite ugly though, because it would take a very long string to define the layout of a more complex window (alternatives welcome
).
By the way, using a widget has got another advantage: it is very easy to create stacked layouts by making a GridLayoutWidget a GridLayoutWidget's child.

you can upload images at imageshack.us, but they disappear after a time.

Looks nice. I'll let you know once I've tried this. This kind of manager class can be very useful.
