Creates a grid.

Grid

Remarks

A grid is a container object that displays data in rows and columns, and is similar in appearance to a Browse window. A grid is also a container object that contains column objects. A column can contain a Header object and controls. Because a grid and its columns, headers, and controls each have their own set of properties, you have complete control over each element of the grid. You can create a grid interactively using the Grid Builder.

For additional information about creating grids, see Using Controls.

Example

The following example places a Grid control on a form. The customer table is opened and its contents are displayed in the grid. The Caption property is used to specify a different header caption (Customer ID) for the CUST_ID field. A command button is placed on the form to close the form.

The SetAll method is used with the DynamicBackColor property to specify the background colors for the records. If the number of a record displayed in the grid is even, the record's DynamicBackColor is white, otherwise its DynamicBackColor is green.
