grAxis objects in Graph controls
The MinorTic property specifies how ticks overlap the axis for the minor grid. Ticks can be placed on the inside of the axis line, on the outside, or straddling it; or there can be no ticks visible.
To specify the type of minor tick marks:
Display the Axis tab page of the control’s Properties view and select the desired axis from the Axis drop-down list.
Select the desired type of tick mark from the MinorTicks drop-down list box in the Minor Division group.
The MinorTic property takes a value of the grTicType enumerated datatype.
The following line sets ticks on the minor grid to outside the grid:
gr_1.Values.MinorTic = Outside!
