In the Properties window, global column properties, also known as C1DataColumn properties, are accessed through the C1DataColumnCollection object property. By clicking on the ellipsis button (...) next to the Columns node in the Visual Studio Properties window, the C1TrueDBGrid Designer will appear. For more information on using the collection editor see Using the C1TrueDBGrid Designer.

In the Visual Studio Properties window, each member of the SplitCollection exposes a DisplayColumns property, also known as the C1DisplayColumnCollection object. These C1DisplayColumn properties are split-specific properties. By clicking on the ellipsis button next to the Splits node in the Properties window, then clicking on the ellipsis button next to the DisplayColumns node in the editor for the Split Collection, the editor for the C1DisplayColumnCollection will be brought up. For more information on using this editor, see Using the C1DisplayColumnCollection Editor.
