Working in a grid DataWindow object
If you are viewing a grid-style DataWindow object in the Preview view, you
can make the following changes. Whatever you do in the Preview view is
reflected in the Design view:
• Resize columns
• Reorder columns
• Split the display into two horizontal scrolling regions
You can use this feature to keep one or more columns stationary on the
screen while scrolling through other columns.
• Copy data to the clipboard
These features are also available to your users
Users of your application can also manipulate columns in these ways in a grid
DataWindow object at runtime.
❖ To resize a column in a grid DataWindow object:
1 Position the mouse pointer at a column boundary in the header.
The pointer changes to a two-headed arrow.
2 Press and hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse to move the
boundary.
3 Release the mouse button when the column is the correct width.
❖ To reorder columns in a grid DataWindow object:
1 Press and hold the left mouse button on a column heading.
DataWindow Designer selects the column and displays a line representing
the column border.
