DOCERR: Columns Collection Does Not Have a Font Property

RESOLUTION

The individual columns of the DBGrid control cannot be set to a specific font. The column objects of the DBGrid control do not support this property. Page 138 of the "Microsoft Visual Basic Language Reference," as well as the online help incorrectly document "Font" as being a property of the individual columns of the Columns collection.

Use the Object Browser to determine what properties are supported by an object. To launch the Object Browser, when Visual Basic is running, click the F2 key, or click the Object Browser on the View menu.

To determine what properties are supported by the DBGrid control, select the MSDBGrid - Apex Data Bound Grid Library from the Libraries / Project drop-down combo box. In the Classes / Module list, select Column. The methods and properties supported by this object are listed on the right.
