Title: TStringGrid, delete column...?
Post by: julgus on October 19, 2016, 07:15:05 pm

How do I delete an existing column in the IDE? I can add, I can edit the grid but how do I delete a column???  I can make it not visible but I surely must be able to delete it in the ide?

Select column in Object Inspector and hit key Delete

or

select StringGrid in OI, select property Columns and double click it (or click the button [...]). It will open "Editing Columns" dialog where you can add/delete columns.

Thanks!
I got it to work using [fn]+[delete] (not the usual method to delete data when using mac).. when I click columns the property part is blank.. nothing to click on so I can't access "Editing Columns". If I right click on TStringGrid I can access "Edit Stringgrid" but I can't delete a column there.. at least I can't figure it out...

Is the Lazarus ide more Windows biased?

Why is it 2 columns but one only one is defined in the object inspector?

Thanks! I found the Columns property as you said - I clicked at "Columns" in the Object inspector. And it shows a extra column if I have 1 as "FixedCols". It ought to be 0 as default I may think.
