You might look into the UniGrid documentation. You might also look at this KB article.

You can execute this type of behavior simply by defining an XML file for each "view" you want. Each XML file will have the definition for creating the grid and actions performed when something happens within the grid, for instance a click to view an edit form.

CMSForm works only with document types and DataForm with objects like system tables.but I need a edit control for both of them which I couldn't find. I need a general form control

Take a look at the actions performed in the Users list or any other list in the CMSDesk or CMSSiteManager that utilize a UniGrid. You'll find most of them redirect to a aspx page that opens in a modal window. You can perform this same type of action and simply use a generic "form" but the end result is the action performed is defined in the XML file for the UniGrid.

I've created a webpart in the Marketplace that does this same type of functionality with custom tables. You might check that out and download the code to see how I populate the form from the grid actions.
