Description

TGridColumn is a TCollectionItem descendant which implements a column definition for grid controls. TGridColumn contains properties which control the appearance, layout, and editing behavior used for a column in TCustomGrid and descendent classes. For instance:

The column has an associated TGridColumnTitle class instance in Title that defines the fixed cell header displayed for the column. As a convenience, the column includes a reference to the TCustomGrid which uses the column definition.

Instances of TGridColumn are created by and stored in the TGridColumns collection class. Use the methods in TGridColumns to create, access, and maintain the items in the collection.
