Is there a way to programmatically change a grid's header size?

The default far too big for some of my controls that must exist on the same page as controls where the default is just fine (hence I don't want to change the interface for a system wide setting).

I tried

GridHeader1.Header.Height:=18;

but it doesn't complain nor change the setting. As TGridHeader is a descendent of TControl and Height is a property of that, should that not work?

---
As an aside - when I originally put in that height modifying line, I got this :
[Error] Project3.wbp (3,10): Access violation at address 0073FE14 in module 'ewbide.exe'. Read of address 00000000

but I've been unable to repeat it. Not much help, I know, but thought I'd mention it.

Not currently, no.  But I've added a ColumnHeadersHeight property to the TGrid control, and that will allow you to set it.

That won't work.  There's a header bar container that the grid column headers stretch to fit into, and so that header bar height controls the height of the grid column headers.

Yes, I've seen that one also, and yes, it won't be repeatable.  A re-compile will fix it.  I think I've figured out/fixed these random AVs in the IDE (there was a memory overwrite bug, hence the randomness):

and 2.02 B5 is coming out today with a fix.

Much appreciated, ta. Will that be in the next build?
