When you first start the property builder, you will see a RadGrid and one Master table. The Telerik RadGrid property builder has three main panes:
 |
- A pane with Grid hierarchy objects - in this pane you can add/remove detail tables.
- A pane with a treeview of property pages for the selected objects
- A pane with properties for the selected object
|
The screenshot below shows the initial state of the Telerik RadGrid property builder's General Settings page.

This page provides options that if set, will be available for all grid tables. If you set [Show header] option, all tables in your grid will have headers. |
