FieldName

Class: TEgFireGridColumn

property FieldName: string;

The name of the dataset field the column shows (case does not matter). In the Object Inspector it offers the fields of the grid’s dataset.

The first time a column gets a field name while its Title.Caption is empty, the caption is set to the field’s DisplayLabel (its name when it has none); a caption set afterwards replaces it.

A column may have no field: its cells are empty unless an OnBeforeDrawCell handler gives them a text or an icon, for example a value computed from other fields of the row. A field name the dataset does not have also shows empty cells. Such columns cannot be edited, sorted in a meaningful way, or exported.
