I need to change the text color in a cell of TStringGrid
in Delphi.
Just a cell. How can I do that?
You could use the DrawCell
event to draw the cell content yourself.
procedure TForm1.GridDrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
var
S: string;
RectForText: TRect;
begin
// Check for your cell here (in this case the cell in column 4 and row 2 will be colored)
if (ACol = 4) and (ARow = 2) then
begin
S := Grid.Cells[ACol, ARow];
// Fill rectangle with colour
Grid.Canvas.Brush.Color := clBlack;
Grid.Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
// Next, draw the text in the rectangle
Grid.Canvas.Font.Color := clWhite;
RectForText := Rect;
// Make the rectangle where the text will be displayed a bit smaller than the cell
// so the text is not "glued" to the grid lines
InflateRect(RectForText, -2, -2);
// Edit: using TextRect instead of TextOut to prevent overflowing of text
Grid.Canvas.TextRect(RectForText, S);
end;
end;
(Inspired by this.)
