Description

Each column in a grid is represented by a GridColumn object. Each GridColumn object is an element in the grid’s columns array, and contains a reference to a heading control and an edit control. You may assign different kinds of controls in different columns. The following types of controls are supported:

Entryfield

CheckBox

SpinBox

ComboBox

Editor

When these controls are used in a grid, they have a reduced property set. Each type of field has a default control type. Logical and boolean fields default to CheckBox. Numeric and date fields default to SpinBox.
