Hi All,
            I'm looking for a way to hide the last col of a StringGrid, if I
reduc it's size there is always a small col that remains ...

Thanks,

Hi there, after some research and some testing, a solution that worked okay
(except that the border seems to large) is to set the ColWidths[indexofCol]
= 0.

The only way I know of to get rid of columns is to reduce the column count.
This means you have to keep track of the grid contents yourself rather than
just storing it in the grid.  I think you have to do this anyway if you want
more than just basic functionality from the list - things like movable
columns, etc.

Just as an (unrelated) aside, does this mean that OmniVox is going to be
developing in BCB?  Or is this just you at home? (I develop apps for a
OmniVox system here in NZ <G>)

OmniVox is the compagny that I work for that's in Montreal, Canda ... and
they have been developping in BCB for almost 2 years now.
While we are on unrelated subjects ... what is the meaning of your latin
quote... my latin is not that good.

They have? Ok :>

So... any tips on how to break out of this {*word*193} VB-based scripting and
get down and dirty with the API directly? :>

Well... roughly translated to idiomatic english it reads:

"Anything that is said in Latin sounds profound."

This works ok if you're not allowing the user to resize/move the
columns.  Otherwise they can open up that column again if they know what
to look for.

Thanks I haven't thought of that luckily the users can't play with the grid
that  much so it will do fine ...

Not sure what you mean here ??

So true...

I only remember the ones that my Latin teacher used to say to us during
class
