Well if we're getting theoretical, another possible (and actually very
good) place for your data validation rules in in a cursoradapter. It has
all the update control you could possibly want and - it's been some time
- but doesn't a ca draw a grid if you drag it onto a form?

be handled by the grid object. The grid should be able to call out to an
object where you store your business rules. Then all your default control
valid method code can be is something like
<businessObject>.validateMe(this) and you can do something similar in the
before and after rowcolchange events for row level validations. You still
have to write all your business rules/validation code, of course, but
instead of having it embedded in individual controls in the grid it's all
in one place.
Now whether a grid is suitable as a data entry UI is another discussion
which starts to verge on the TABs vs spaces discussion.
