The Basics > Configuring Columns at Design Time > Specifying other column properties |
Not all column properties can be set from the Columns property page. This is because some properties, such as Width, may differ from split to split. In True DBGrid, a split is similar to the split window features of products such as Microsoft Excel and Word, and is often used to present data in multiple vertical panes. Two common applications of splits in True DBGrid are:
Independent vertical scrolling panes
Fixed nonscrolling columns
If you are just getting started with True DBGrid, you don't need to learn about splits right away, but you should know that the Splits property page is used to specify split-specific column properties. For more information, see Columns in property trees.
