Ok, I just tried - I created a form with a grid, gave it 10 columns. Then I right-click to Edit the grid, clicked on the Column. Clicked on the container then clicked on that column. I can see that this container is added to the column (checked in the Property Sheet).

I suggest to first delete the text1, so you can see this container visually. Otherwise you only see it in the Property sheet.
