From: delarosa@ix.netcom.com (Luis de la Rosa ) Subject: Re: DELPHI: Can you change row color in StringGrid? Date: 28 Jun 1995 18:50:12 GMT You're going to have to set default drawing to False. This has the effect of not painting the fixed cells, the focused cells, or the selected cells their default colors. It also makes it so that the strings don't output. Then you'll have to add an event handler to OnDrawCell, (I'm assuming you only want this for one TStringGrid and not for a whole bunch) to check if it is the row or column you want, and if so, paint it the color you want that row or column. Then you need to output the string that's in the cell. It's very helpful if you have the VCL source code. If you need any more help, let me know. -- ====================== Luis de la Rosa delarosa@ix.netcom.com ======================
