The Column Functions Menu contains all of the functions and properties that can be set on Column Headers in the grid. Some of these functions and properties can be set by right clicking on the column header, others are only in this menu.
To begin click the round red button on the lower right of the grid. The red button will turn green and the Grid Functions Toolbar will appear. Click the Grid Functions menu and the Column Functions Menu at the very top of the pop-up menu.
We will exam each of these functions below and explain what they do and why you would want to use them.
Modify Column Header Captions
Although you can modify the column headers simply by right clicking on them and typing in a new caption, this function allows you to change them by choosing the column header from the drop down and changing the text in the text box.
Scroll Tip Column
The Scroll Tip column causes the grid to show a tool tip of the column data if you click the scroll bar and hold it and move up or down the grid. Although you can set the Scroll Tip Column by right clicking on the column header, this Menu item will give you a drop down list box of all of the column headers and you can choose which one to use for scroll tips.
