(SOLVED) Trying to delete TStringColumn from StringGrid in a FMX form in the IDE, but Delphi 11 Enterprise crashes.

[Al T 12]

Delphi 11.0 Enterprise (I Can't afford to buy new version.  Need workaround, please.)

 

PROBLEM

Delphi 11.0 crashes everytime I try to delete a TStringColumn from StringGrid in a FMX form in the IDE.  This is not during runtime.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to remove the ones I currently built using the IDE.  Any work arounds?

 

I've tried to right click on the StringGrid and select Items Editor and select a TStringColumn and click delete.... crashes Delphi 11.0 runtime.

 

SOLUTION

 

Right click on the design, then click View as Text.  Delete the objects and save unit.  close the unit and reopen the unit.  Fixed.

 

HISTORY in how I got Delphi Enterprise:

I am hobbyist that happened to hit a big lottery winning one year and decided to buy Delphi Enterprise 10.4 with the money, during that year I upgraded to Delphi 11.0.  So, I'm stuck with it.  I'll never be able to ever afford getting another Enterprise again.  So, I look for workarounds.
