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.

To use the Grid builder

  1. Using the Form Controls toolbar, place a grid control on a form.

  2. Select and right-click the grid control, and then choose Builder from the Form Designer shortcut menu.

  3. 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.
