InheritOptions

	property InheritOptions : TInheritOptions;
Description	Use InheritOptions to determine which properties (for example FontName) are inherited from the parent grid object (row, column or grid). Initially every property of a grid object (cell, row, column) is inherited. As a grid object's properties are explicitly set they are removed from InheritedProperties. For example, initially a row's InheritedProperties will contain ptFontName which indicates that the font used for displaying text in that row is inherited from the grid's FontName property. If the row's FontName property is set ptFontName will be removed from the row's InheritedProperties which then indicates that the row's FontName is no longer inherited from the grid's FontName. This inheritance feature gives you great flexibility in determining the appearance of your grids. TInheritOptions is a set of the following values: Value Meaning ptAlignment Alignment property ptBlink Blink property ptBorderBottomColor BorderBottomColor property ptBorderBottomStyle BorderBottomStyle property ptBorderLeftColor BorderLeftColor property ptBorderLeftStyle BorderLeftStyle property ptBorderRightColor BorderRightColor property ptBorderRightStyle BorderRightStyle property ptBorderTopColor BorderTopColor property ptBorderTopStyle BorderTopStyle property ptColor Color property ptFontBold FontBold property ptFontColor FontColor property ptFontItalic FontItalic property ptFontName FontName property ptFontSize FontSize property ptFontUnderline FontUnderline property ptLocked Locked property ptSelected Selected property
Default	All properties are inherited

Locked

	property Locked : boolean;
Description	Use Locked to determine whether the grid object (cell, row, column or grid) is locked or unlocked. When a grid object is locked it cannot be focused.
Default	false
	Lock second column (Column[1]) Grid.Column[1].Locked := true;

Object_

	property Object_ : TObject;
Description	Use Object_ to associate a TObject with the grid object (cell, row, column or grid).
	You are responsible for freeing any object stored in the Object_ property

Selected

	property Selected : boolean;
Description	Use Selected to determine if the grid object (cell, row, column or grid) is selected.
	Select the third row (Row[2]) Grid.Row[2].Selected := true;

Assign

	procedure Assign(AGridObject : TGridObject; Ignore : TInheritOptions); virtual;
Description	Call Assign to assign one grid object to another. Any properties specified by the Ignore parameter with not be assigned.
	Assign row[2] to row[3] but do not any Font properties Grid.Row[3].Assign(Grid.Row[2], [ptFontName, ptFontBold, ptFontItalic, ptFontUnderline, ptFontStrikeout, ptFontSize]);

Inherit

	procedure Inherit(Value: TPropertyType); virtual;
Description	Call Inherit to inherit the property specified by Value from the grid object's parent.
See also	InheritAll
	Inherit second row's FontName from grid Grid.Row[1].Inherit(ptFontName);

InheritAll

	procedure InheritAll;
Description	Call InheritAll to inherit all properties from the grid object's parent.
See also	Inherit
	Inherit all of second row's properties from grid Grid.Row[1].InheritAll;
