Styling TWebDBGrid with CSS

I am trying to style the twebdbgrid with css. For example text wrapping in the column. When i use bootstrap and set the column.elementclassname = 'text-wrap' it is working but when i create the class in css:

    .gridcolumn{font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;
                white-space: normal; word-wrap: break-word !important; }

and use it: column.elementclassname = 'gridcolumn'
it doesn't do anything.

I tested this here with the demo under Demo\Basics\DBGrid but could not see a problem. The CSS class is set to the TD elements in the column where specified.
If a problem persists, can you please provide a sample source project with which we can see the issue?
