in IBO this is done at the Query level (data), not the Grid (display). Have a
look at the various FieldsXXX properties for TIB_Queries, it's all in there:
- FieldsAlignment (put in 'FIELD1=left')
- FieldsGridLabel (put in 'FIELD1=Height')
- FieldsDisplayWidth (put in 'FIELD1=200')
etc.

alternatively you can use IBO's property editor by dblclicking the query.
(using StringLists for this may look strange at first, but is far more flexible
and - once you're used to it - easier to handle)

that's easy: mygrid.col := <col number>;
