Data Grid, etc./Data Shape Recordset

Is it possible to bind the datagrid, the old flexgrid, etc. to a "DataShape" language recordset? I was able to bind them to regular recordsets, but not with the data shape. I know I could use the Hierarchical flex grid for this, but I don't like the way that control lays out all of the data horizontally. I'd like to have the initial data grid show the "Parent" side of the recordset, and then allow the user to click on an item and have the child/detail information pop up. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure it will help you, but the company APEX did implement a patch : TrueDBGrid that help to make dynamic grid within new events are set.
Unfortunately this patch isn't freeware.
