Hi,

TGrid used to have a property called Columns, where did it go? It always was a handy way to edit the columns.

Greetings,
Ronald

I don't know the old version, but EWB2 has a Columns property for sure.
I'm using it, eg :

clickedText:=Grid1.Columns.Column[1].Text

Is there something specific missing?

Yes, you are right, but that is not what I mean. In 1.0 you could edit the
columns in the editor (designtime).

Ah sorry. Misunderstood.

But if you click the + in the designer on the blank grid it adds a column, then that can be selected by clicking it and the properties edited in the properties window.

If that's also not what you meant, then I shall bow out gracefully

The columns aren't a collection anymore, but rather a set of controls in their own right.  In EWB 2, most nested controls like this are selectable in the designer and don't require the collection editor anymore.

I understand why it was more logical to make separate controls for the
columns, but it will take some time to get used to it, the collection had
many advantages for instance in selecting the fields.

I'm going to be making some improvements to keyboard selection in the form designer, most notably being able to use the arrow keys to move from one control to the next in layout order, as well as being able to select multiple controls by doing the same with the shift key down.
