Hi,

I wanted to add a TStringList to my application. I set AutoFillColumns
to True as the width of the stringgrid should be used. But as soon as
I set AutoFillColumns to True, I'm not able to resize the columns
during runtime. Is this a bug or does it work as designed?

It's the default behaviour by design. This can be modified by adding
custom columns (see columns property in object inspector) for each
column that you want resize set SizePriority to 0 in object inspector.
The SizePriority controlls which column is auto sized, 1 means
autosize 0 means fixed size, if all columns are fixed and grid is
autofilled then the last column is automatically resized even if it's
sizepriority is 0.

Thanks. I will try that.

Just one question:
Do you know what the properties MinSize and MaxSize for the
TGridColumn class mean?

They are supposed to be used togeter with sizepriority to restrict
column sizes when the grid is resized, but this is not yet
implemented.
