Properties

Name	Description
AutoCreated	True when this column was created automatically by the adapter from the dataset field list and was not defined manually.
CheckBoxField	When True, the cell value is rendered as a check box (True/False toggle) instead of plain text. Mutually exclusive with PictureField and ProgressField.
DataBoolean	Custom Boolean payload for application use. Not used by the adapter internally.
DataInteger	Custom integer payload for application use. Not used by the adapter internally.
DataObject	Custom object reference for application use. Not used by the adapter internally.
DataPointer	Custom pointer payload for application use. Not used by the adapter internally.
DataString	Custom string payload for application use. Not used by the adapter internally.
Field	The TField instance bound to this column. Derived from FieldName against the active dataset. Read-only at runtime; set FieldName to change the binding.
FieldName	The dataset field name bound to this column. Setting this property also updates the live Field reference when a dataset is active.
GridColumn	The corresponding grid column object for this adapter column mapping.
HTMLTemplate	HTML template string used to format cell content. Use field-name placeholders enclosed in curly braces (e.g. ``) to embed field values. Leave empty to use default text rendering.
Header	Override text for the column header. When empty the adapter uses the field's DisplayLabel (or FieldName) as the header.
PictureField	When True, the cell renders a BLOB/graphic field as an embedded image. Mutually exclusive with CheckBoxField and ProgressField.
ProgressField	When True, the cell renders a numeric field as a progress bar. Mutually exclusive with CheckBoxField and PictureField.
UseColumnEditor	When True, the grid's column editor dialog is used for in-place editing instead of the default text editor. Default is False.
UseLookupEditor	When True (default), lookup fields automatically open a drop-down list populated from the lookup dataset. Set to False to fall back to plain text editing for lookup fields.
