| Black Left Edge Appears When Clicking Column Heading |
I don't think I'm being nit-picky about this annoying behavior. When I use programs that display data in a grid, my expectation is to be able to sort the data by clicking on the column heading. I want to build the same functionality into my grids.
I hate this black line that shows up when you click a dbGrid column heading. In my mind it's very unattractive and looks extremely unprofessional.
For the amount of money we pay EMBT for Delphi you would think they would fix this bug. You would think EMBT would want to put their best foot forward and give us die-hard Delphi users, an out of the box dbGrid worthy of the Delphi name.
Go vote for QC 98255 so this damn thing gets fixed.

It turns out that the black line is intended functionality. It is used to indicate the new location where a column is being moved to. I wish that the black line would only show up when the column heading is being dragged and not just being click.

Also, as a work around, he can disable column moving by creating a proxy class to access TCustomGrid's protected items and removing goColMoving from it's Options property with code like:
Type
TMyCustomGrid=Class(TCustomGrid)
And placing
TMyCustomGrid(DBGrid1).Options := TMyCustomGrid(DBGrid1).Options-[goColMoving];
in the onFormCreate and after anywhere he modifies the grid's options. Changing DBGrid1 for each unique instance, obviously.

This work-a-round works perfectly fine for me since I do not need the ability to move columns around. Just wanted to pass this on.
