May I add a label or button column as sepator?

My grid lists several columns, and clearly display the column features, I need add a label column or button column or a wide separator as column separator to divide several set columns.

You can add an unbound column, in the designer or from code, like this:<code>Column colSeparator = new Column();
grid.Columns.Insert(col1.Index, colSeparator); // insert the column before column <i>col1</i></code>I think it’s a good idea to set some properties that make sure the separator column doesn’t do much, and isn’t too interactive:<code>colSeparator.CanBeGrouped = false;
colSeparator.CanBeSorted = false;
colSeparator.Width = width;
colSeparator.MinWidth = width;
colSeparator.MaxWidth = width;
colSeparator.Title = “”;</code>

I’m trying the above mentioned code but I’ getting a System.InvalidOperation Exception “An attempt was made to add an uninitialized column to a ColumnList”

here’s my code:
Xceed.Grid.Column colSeparator = new Xceed.Grid.Column();
colSeparator.CanBeGrouped = false;
colSeparator.CanBeSorted = false;
colSeparator.Width = 22;
colSeparator.MinWidth = 12;
colSeparator.MaxWidth = 22;
colSeparator.Title = ” “;
DFGrid.Columns.Insert(1, colSeparator);

TIA

Apparently, the Column must be initialized (have a name and type) before you can add it to the grid. To fix this, just change the first line to something like this:<code>Xceed.Grid.Column colSeparator = new Xceed.Grid.Column(“colSeparator”, typeof(string));</code>
