Changing column size in a StringGrid component: How? 1

[CHeighlund]

First off, let me say that I know about the cell parameters that the component has, but that changes the size of all of the cells in the grid. Is there some way to specifically change only the size of a single column? Most of the data I'm working with at the moment has an eight-character maximum size, but this doesn't apply to the first column (headings). Allowing enough size for readable headings means vast amounts of whitespace in the other cells, while trimming those means that the headings are getting cropped short. Is there any way that I can change the width of just that one column? It is a fixed column, if that changes the equation any.

if you're talking about a TStringGrid, try the ColWidths property where i is the column number.
