Description

The example shows how to add a control to a grid using the InsertControl method. To build this example, add a TDrawGrid object on the form. Add the code below to the form's constructor. The result is that a combo box is added in the second cell on the first row.

Code

__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
        : TForm(Owner)
{
  TComboBox *combo;
  TRect rect;
  TEdit *edit;
 
  combo = new TComboBox(this);
  rect = DrawGrid1->CellRect(2,0);
  combo->Top = rect.Top;
  combo->Left = rect.Left;
  DrawGrid1->InsertControl(combo);
  DrawGrid1->ColWidths[2] = combo->Width;
 
  edit = new TEdit(this);
  rect = DrawGrid1->CellRect(3,0);
  edit->Top = rect.Top;
  edit->Left = rect.Left;
  DrawGrid1->InsertControl(edit);
  DrawGrid1->ColWidths[3] = combo->Width;
}
