Example 1: This example creates a gridlist with entries "Hello" and "World!" and chooses randomly which of these two grid list items it will retrieve.

function clientsideResourceStart ()
        --Create a gridlist
      local myGridList = guiCreateGridList ( 0.80, 0.10, 0.15, 0.60, true )
      --Create columnA on the gridlist
    local columnA = guiGridListAddColumn ( myGridList, "columnA Title", 0.85 )
      --Add 2 rows to the grid list
    rowA = guiGridListAddRow ( myGridList )
      rowB = guiGridListAddRow ( myGridList )
        --Create the text "Hello" for rowA, columnA
    guiGridListSetItemText ( myGridList, rowA, columnA, "Hello", false, false )
      --Create the text "World!" for rowB, columnA
    guiGridListSetItemText ( myGridList, rowB, columnA, "World!", false, false )
      --Choose randomly which grid list item text to retrieve
        getRandomItem = math.random ( 1, 2 )
    if getRandomItem == 1 then
                randomItemData = guiGridListGetItemText ( myGridList, rowA, columnA )
        elseif getRandomItem == 2 then
                randomItemData = guiGridListGetItemText ( myGridList, rowB, columnA )
        end
        --Output the randomly retrieved item text
        outputChatBox ( "My gridlist item text: "..randomItemData )
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, clientsideResourceStart )
