In IB_controls, the data determines the dimensions. So access the
DisplayWidth property of TIB_Column, or the FieldsDisplayWidth list
of the dataset, to get or set the width in pixels. Use the
GridFields[n] property of the grid to get hold of the actual column
object underlying the grid column.

E.g. let's suppose a simple routine to set all of the visible fields
to 50 pixels (unlikely, I know, but it gives the picture!)

var
ii: integer;
.....

with ib_grid1 do
for ii := 0 to GridFieldCount - 1 do
TIB_Column(GridFields[ii]).DisplayWidth := 50;
