Q. What I am hoping for (probably in future releases) is the ability to:

  1. Have independently sized columns;
  2. Turn off all cell borders;
  3. Access support for CR/LF within cells.

A. Hope no longer. The answer is here...

Each column can be sized independently. There is a Width property that applies to the Column object. The Width can be changed by code or by the user at run-time. It can also be set at design-time.

The cell borders are controlled by the RowDividerStyle of the grid object, and by the DividerStyle of the Column object

It is possible to embed a CR/LF combination in a grid cell. It would be necessary to trap for something like CTRL+ENTER, and add the CR and LF characters to the text.

Q. When adding columns to the grid at run-time, the column that is always displayed is the right-most column. Also, the horizontal scroll bar is at the right-most position. This happens even if there is enough space on the grid to display all the columns.

I tried setting Row = 0 and Col = 0 but this does not seem to make any difference.

A. Try using the LeftCol property: 

  ...Code to add columns
  TDBGrid.LeftCol = 0    ' Or whatever column you want

It is also documented in the help file for the behaviour of adding columns, if you are using more than one split.
