DBGrid column width

Is there a way of setting the column widths on DBGrid?  I am using it
to display the records in a Firebird database table and I would prefer
to have a fixed column width for each item in the record.  Thanks!

(If this is not the right place to ask this, I will move it).

Somewhere suitable (perhaps the form's OnCreate handler) add something
like
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i var  i:
integer;begin  for i:=0 to DBGrid1.Columns.Count-1 do   
DBGrid1.Columns.Items[i].Width:=<desired width in pixels>;end;

Awesome!  It does exactly what I want.  I should have seen that, I
think.  Still pretty new to this game.

You can do it via ObjectInspector, too - right click on DBGrid, select
Edit Columns, add fields and set widths (DataSet and DBConnection
should be active @designtime for that).

Great thanks.  More good information.  I needed to do this at run
time.
