The TIB_Datasource works quite differently to TDatasource - you always
define the column & display attributes in the dataset TIB_Datasource
carries them across to the controls. You can set widths and a host of
other display features including column title labels, make columns visible
or not, set alignment and display format, etc. etc.

If you want a different caption in the column title instead of the column
name, just set it in the field properties - using either DisplayLabel or
GridDisplayLabel.

To access the editor for these attributes, double-click on the dataset
object. You can change them at run-time too.

You don't REALLY want us to go back to the bad old days of the Columns
editor, do you? :))
