Description

In dbGrids and dbLists (actually the Datalist class) the OnBeginningOfPanel method is used to snap the grid back to column zero whenever the message beginning_of_panel is sent to a view. The message beginning_of_panel sends the message OnBeginningOfPanel to all objects. When the dbGrid or dbList receives the message it does the following:

// augment to always force the first column to be visible. This will occur during a
// panel's clear or save. It makes sense to restore the column. If you do no want this
// behavior just cancel it.
