Hi,

I would like to add an extra button to the header of a grid. When the user clicks this button, it will open a window where the user can change the order of the columns.

- Is it possible to move for example the last column of a grid to position 2 ?
- Is it possible to add a button to the header of a grid ? Taking the source from the grid and adding the button ? Or is there an easier way to do this ?

Thanks

Regards,
Luk

Set the grid colum index value to the desired index
grdcolName.Index := 1;

I don't think it is possible. Considering the complexity of this I would instead use the Layout properties and set the DisplayOrder value to overlay the Button and move it along.

Yes, the TGridColumn.Header property is just a TGridHeader control, which is a normal control that can be a parent for other controls.

However, I still wouldn't do what you're describing, because it's going to screw up the way that the caption/sizer/arrow UI elements work in the header.
