: I want to create an application where some dbgrid cells in a column have a different background
color. The color can be changed by changing RGB value.
: Can it be done?
: If you can give a sample code,it will be much appreciated.
: Thankyou.
------------------------
Example: color the cells of column number 1 yellow on red, if the value in field "Year" is greater then 1960:
procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect; DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn; State: TGridDrawState); begin if (DataCol = 1) and (Table1.FieldByName('Year').AsInteger > 1960) then begin DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clYellow; // the text DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clRed; // the background DBGrid1.DefaultDrawColumnCell(Rect, DataCol, Column, State); end; end;
If you only want to change the background color, omit the line with "DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color"
Good luck!
