I don't know if it works with grids yet, but Reinhard Fureder's 
swWxGuiTesting framework is open source (http://swwxguitesting.wefi.net/) 
and I have used the framework successfully (or rather the parts that I 
needed) for testing wx applications. If it doesn't support grids yet, it 
should be easy to add support for them.

His MPhil thesis, the main documentation for the framework, describes 
how to use it for Capture & Record in some detail:

although I never used that functionality either, I wrote my tests in code.

Cheers, Chris.
