There are two ways you could do that. If you get the work-in-progress
Allegro version from my webpage, you can call init_dialog(),
update_dialog(), and shutdown_dialog() from your own code rather than
just transferring control entirely to the do_dialog() routine, so you
can mix the Allegro GUI processing with other code of your own.

Alternatively you could implement your grid as a custom GUI object, in
which case the do_dialog() routine will send you messages whenever the
mouse moves on top of your grid object...
