In what language? With what GUI Toolkit?

In pseudo-code, I would write a test like this:

suite_test_grid
{

    MyHostWindow aWindow

    setUp()
         aWindow.Create()
         aDatabase.beginTransaction()

    test_integer()
         aDatabase.push(7)
         aWindow.refresh()
         q = aWindow.getGrid().getCell(1,1).getValue()
         assert 7 == q

    test_string()
         aDatabase.push("yo")
         aWindow.refresh()
         q = aWindow.getGrid().getCell(1,1).getValue()
         assert "yo" == q

    tearDown()
         aWindow.Destroy()
         aDatabase.rollBack()

}

More tests could then write sub-tables in the
database, and would query the cells they must fall
into.

For nearly all GUI Toolkits, the great thing is you
can do all that without displaying the window on the
screen. Windows buffer in memory, so tests can do
anything that production code would do during a
window's Create event, to prepare the window to
display, including querying its data out.
