Adding the first column

So if we want to add a new column, we can simply add the required code for it, this time from the View code:

partial class ShowView : Shared.Theme.Controls.Form
{
    ShowCustomers _controller;
    public ShowView(ShowCustomers controller)
    {
        _controller = controller;
        InitializeComponent();
         AddColumn();
    }

     void AddColumn()
     {
        // The grid column
         var gcCity = new Shared.Theme.Controls.GridColumn() { Text = "City" };
        // The textbox 
         var tbCity = new Shared.Theme.Controls.TextBox() { Style = Firefly.Box.UI.ControlStyle.Flat };
        // The textbox data 
         tbCity.Data = _controller.Customers.City;
        // Add the textbox to the grid column
         gcCity.Controls.Add(tbCity);
        // Add the grid column to the grid
         grid1.Controls.Add(gcCity);
     }
} 

Note the attributes uses for the column title and the textbox style

This is the result:

The next article will use the AddColumn method in a more dynamic approach.
