The Grid builder makes it easy to set properties for a grid control. The grid control allows you to present and manipulate rows and columns of data in a form or page. You set grid properties by selecting options displayed in the Grid Builder dialog box.
-
Using the Form Controls toolbar, place a grid control on a form.
-
Select and right-click the grid control, and then choose Builder from the Form Designer shortcut menu.
-
Choose the options you want from the dialog box, and then choose OK.
When you choose OK, the builder closes, applying the property settings from every tab.
Note: Before running your form, make sure you have sized the grid control to adequately display your data.
