Set the DefaultDrawing property to FALSE2. Create the following OnDrawColumnCell eventIn this example, my list is called MainListprocedure TSwitchPurchases.MainListDrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect; DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn; State: TGridDrawState);begin if MainTbl.FieldByName('isactive').Asinteger = 0 then MainList.canvas.font.color := clRed; MainList.DefaultDrawColumnCell(Rect, DataCol, Column, State); inherited;end;There is a comment in the help about focus rectangles that you may also need to look at.If there is a better way, let me know please. re: Colorizing a TDBGrid William Grace http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/userall?commentid=24695 http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/view?commentid=24695 2000-03-27T08:34:52-07:00 2000-03-27T08:34:52-07:00 re: Colorizing a TDBGrid If you want to color the entire row based on the value of one cell, use the syntax FIELD.DATASET.FIELDBYNAME('yourkeyfield').ASdatatype Colorizing a TDBGrid Richard Lees http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/userall?commentid=24346 http://threads.embarcadero.com/threads/threads.exe/view?commentid=24346 2000-03-01T00:16:32-08:00 2000-03-01T00:16:32-08:00 Colorizing a TDBGrid This is OK for addressing individual cells, but how do I set whole grid rows to a specific colour (aka MS Money)?.
