Adding a vertical grid to a form

  1. With the form open, go into Design mode.
  2. In the Toolbox, select the Vertical Grid component.
  3. Click the form where you want the upper left corner of the grid to be, and then drag to set the dimensions of the grid.
  4. Specify properties of the vertical grid in the “Component” properties sheet.

    Be sure to specify the collection to bind to the vertical grid in the “Data Source > Binding” property field.

  5. Add the vertical grid elements to be displayed as columns:
    1. Click the "Edit vertical grid element(s)" button in the upper left corner of the vertical grid component.
    2. In the “Edit Contained Components” dialog box, at a minimum, specify the “Data Source > Binding” for each vertical grid element.
    3. Optionally, use the “Properties” property sheet to set other properties as desired.

      We recommend that you at least rename the element to reflect the associated property and purpose (“Name” property).

    4. To add vertical grid elements to the grid display, click “Add”.
    5. To remove a selected grid element from the list, click “X”.
    6. To rearrange the order in which the columns display in the vertical grid, use the Up and Down arrow buttons.
    7. To copy the item to another form container, click the "Copy item to" button.
  6. Click “OK” as needed to return to the form.  
  7. Save your changes.
  8. To establish the grid and grid element bindings, close and reopen the form.
