Design-time editing of column, row, and cell properties

To setup any column, row, or cell attributes at design time (from Object Inspector), use the published properties UsedColumns, UsedRows, and UsedCells. Any changes in these properties are immediately reflected in the grid's image on the form, thus giving you an idea on how the grid would look like during run-time. The properties are persistent and are stored in the .DFM file of the form that contains the grid.


Return values of methods

Most of the TProfGrid methods return a Boolean value. If this is the case, the return value of True indicates "success", and the return value of False indicates either "failure" or "an invalid parameter has been passed to the method". It is recommended to check the return values of methods, thus catching possible problems in applications.
