Heading

Heading$

Specifies heading text for columns

String property

Applies to: Grid , GridCell

Heading

This property is used to set the heading text for the specified column. This property should be used in conjunction with the FixedRows property to place a fixed heading at the the top of each column. Headings remain visible if the control is scrolled or if the contents of a column is cleared or if the contents of the whole grid is cleared with the Clear() method.

To set a heading for a column the Cell() method is used to position to the relevant column. For example, the following would set the heading for column 6:

 .GridControl1.FixedRows = 1
 .GridControl1.Cell(0, 6).Heading$ = "A Nice Heading"

This property should be used rather than just setting Text$ for the fixed columns so that Clear() can be used to clear the grid contents but preserve the headings. Clear() and Reset() will ignore text set with Heading$ but Reset(1) will blank any Heading$ properties. It also allows Type$ to be set for a column without any effect on the heading.
