I have a blob field in which I keep my pictures. I was wondering how can I have this field open automatically when I click on a row (or on row change ) ??

Assigning an image component would require me to enlarge the form which is as big as it is.

second suggestion raises :
[DCC Error] Unit1.pas(74): E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'Columns'

uggghhh...  comes out ugly. especially if you set autoheight to true. Is there a way to increase the image in the grid without setting the autoheight to true ? why does my picture field end up in the middle of the grid ?
ugly ? the right or the left skeleton ?
increase ?
the left margin ?

the preview takes up the total width of all columns
you can left/right/center align the pic using the margins
otherwise, use a image column

dont like it ...what I had in mind was to open the blob field automatically when the row gets selected.
not on afterscroll because thats a performance suicide. But I think I will use a dbimage component to
proceed.
