I don't know what Grid does in Tk, but there are two possibilities:

There is Wx::Grid, which is a fancy spreadsheet-like widget for editing 
cells

There are various flavours of Wx::Sizer, which are for creating layouts 
which resize in response to Frames being resized. There's a GridSizer 
and FlexiGridSizer in there.

There are tutorials for both these on the Wiki:
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?WxRuby_Tutorial

And if you look in your wxruby "samples" directory (in your lib/gems 
tree), there's also samples of the use of both (look in samples/bigdemo/ 
for examples of Sizer use).

The wxruby-users list is a good place to get advice on this sort of q:
