All the container-related methods of this service related to control models, this is what are the container elements for a GridControl.

As the ::com::sun::star::form::FormComponents service also specifies the ::com::sun::star::script::XEventAttacherManager service, grid control models also provide a scripting environment for their columns.

Note that the object returned by the ::com::sun::star::form::XGridColumnFactory::createColumn method is not part of the grid control, yet. It needs to be inserted using any of the container interfaces.

You always need to use this interface for creating columns for the grid control. Column models not created this way will not be accepted when inserted later on.

In a grid control, single columns can be selected (at most one at a time).
For various unfortunate reaons, this selection is an aspect of the model, not of the control as you would expect.

This interface is deprecated, new implementations should not use it anymore, as it is to be superseeded by a solution which is bound to the control, not the model.

The reset of the control is forwarded to all it's elements, means to all the column models. As grid columns are very much like data-aware stand-alone controls, you can find a description of the reset functionality in ::com::sun::star::form::DataAwareControlModel::XReset.

 0: No border
 1: 3D border
 2: simple border
 

Not every border style (see Border) may support coloring. For instance, usually a border with 3D effect will ignore the BorderColor setting.

If the value is set to NULL, the height is determined automatically according to the current font used.
