A small clarification of my previous message... In fact, TStringGrid is derived from TDrawGrid, TDrawGrid from TCustomDrawGrid, and TCustomDrawGrid comes from TCustomGrid. The "family tree" below is copied from Delphi's Help (go the TStringGrid info and click on Hierarchy):

TObject
TPersistent
TComponent
TControl
TWinControl
TCustomControl
TCustomGrid
TCustomDrawGrid
TDrawGrid
TStringGrid

Delphi's Help also says that TStringGrid has the following properties, that are not available in TDrawGrid: Cells, Cols, Objects, Rows.

Here are two tips for quickly finding help-info about a VCL-component:
  - click on the component in the component-palette, next press F1;
  - or if the component is on your form: select it, next press F1.
