Questions
---------
* How to get access to Visio properies (Designer properties)?
! Yes, the direct access to properties of any plug-in module is not possible.
  This is a payment for the open component. 
  You should make type casting in that case. 
  For example: TStandardDesigner(DBGridPro1.Designer).BoundLines
  gives access to "BoundLines" property of Standard designer.
  Just the same for the Visios.
  This is example of assigning of the new caption to the Visio in the
  second column of the DBGridPro and this column is not divided (so it is
  the Visio of section number 0). Let's suppose that this is "V-Lookup" 
  Visio.

  TVLookupVisio(DBGridPro1.Columns[1][0].Visio).Caption := "New caption"

  Below we put the table of available Visio.

    Visio Name	   Visio class
    ===========  =================
    "Undefined"  TSectionVisio     (base class for all Visios)
    "Indicator"  TIndicatorVisio
    "Standard"   TStandardVisio
    "V-Lookup"   TVLookupVisio
    "I-State"    TIStateVisio
    "S-State"    TSStateVisio
    ===========  =================


* What is style (what is the "A-Style" property) and how to use it?
! There is a lot of properties available in the standard designer.
  You can define a set of values of these properties in "style". Styles are
  stored in a special file in a *.DFM format.
  Having saved the style you can restore at any moment previos values of
  Designer's properties.
  The most simple example of working with styles:
  You have some grids mostly identical and you want them to look similiar 
  (colours and other options). It is very easy to do.
    1. Set up the properties of one grid.
    2. Create style based on the grid properties (that were set up).
    3. Apply this style to other grids.
  ===
  The topics are used for a more structured storage of styles. You can
  place the created styles in topics. And also you can move styles
  between topics.
  ===
  To rewrite the designer properties of the existing style, click on
  style, press the creation of style button then press "OK" without
  input of different values in a dialog window.
