DBGrid - How to resize columns at design time

[atasoft]

I am new in Lazarus and I am developing my first database project. I am using DBGrid in my form and I found out that I am not able to resize its columns at design time using the mouse. It takes time to resize the columns using the Width property. Using the mouse in Delphi I can resize the columns of DBgrid.

Am I doing something wrong?

Did you try
dbgrid.ColumWidth[ iColPosicion ] := 250 (* For example *) ;

Did you try
dbgrid.ColumWidth[ iColPosicion ] := 250 (* For example *) ;

Using your code I can change the width of a column at runtime. The working code should be like this: dbgrid.Columns.Items[iColPosition ].Width := 250;

But anyway my problem is not how to change the column width in runtime but at design time using mouse.

Maybe it is bug or better, weakness of lazarus.

To change the column width at design time click on the grid, in the properties select the colums item and click on the little button behind it. Now you will see a little popup window which shows you all the columns. Select a column and in the properties of that column change the Width property. You can do this for every column until you're satisfied.

Select a column and in the properties of that column change the Width property.

Thanks but I know this way. The problem it takes me time to resize the width with this way, especially If I  need to resize the width according to the width of its title. In Delphi I can easily resize the width of the dbgrid column at design time using the mouse !!!

Sorry, I missed your mouse bit.
No need to shout however.
I think Lazarus does not have that possibility, at least -like you- I'm unable to find it.

Thanks, you are right this possibility is missing from lazarus.
Is it any third party dbgrid that has this possibility?

Did You try add items to the columns, dbgrid has Columns properties then you can add the columns you need. Then you can add the width column you need, i am not sure if with the mouse, ley me test.

Ok, but you can not use mouse to resize the column's width at design time like in Delphi.

You can make the feature request in bugtracker.
