set_child(m_grid); shows that this is gtkmm4.

I made some tests with the TextView example in gtkmm-documentation,

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtkmm-documentation/-/tree/master/examples/book/textview

1. Replaced Gtk::Box m_VBox; by Gtk::Grid m_grid; The TextView is a child of a ScrolledWindow, which is a child of the Grid, which is the child of the window.
The text in the TextView was shown.

2. Removed the ScrolledWindow.
The TextView was not shown. Or, rather, it was minimized.

3. Added m_TextView.set_expand();
The TextView was shown again.

If you are gtkmm3, widgets are hidden by default.
You should call Gtk::Container::show_all_children() or Gtk::Widget::show_all().

AFAIK, in gtkmm4 this isn't necessary anymore, as widgets are (finally) visible by default.

    Thanks for taking a look at this.

    Unfortunately, even after I make the TextView   a class member, I
    still don't see the text displayed in the window.
    A concise description of the problem is this:
    If I make the TextView a child of the window, the text is
    displayed. If I make the TextView a child of a Grid, and the
    Grid a child of the window, the text is not displayed.

    I am assuming there might be some property of the Grid I need to set?
