Remarks
If the Column parameter is omitted, AddNewColumn inserts a column to the left of the active column, and shows [Type Column Name] in the column heading. By comparison, the ColumnInsert method brings up the Field Settings dialog box for the new column.
Example
The following example selects the third column in the current view, and then adds a column to the right of the selected column. In the default Gantt Chart view, the third column is Task Name.
SelectColumn (2)
AddNewColumn (3)
Note
If the user does not name the column header, removes the column. The column does not exist until the field is named. If you try to use the ColumnEdit method after AddNewColumn, Project shows run-time error 1100.
