KEYWORDS: dbgrid tdbgrid grid draw ondrawdatacell ondrawcell color text AREA:

The following method can be used as the event handler for a
TDBGrid.OnDrawDataCell event.  This method demonstrates how
to paint the text in one column a different color than the
rest of the text in the grid.

procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DrawDataCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect;
  Field: TField; State: TGridDrawState);
{ NOTE: DefaultDrawing propery of Grid(s) must be set to False }
begin
  { if field name is "NAME" }
  if Field.FieldName = 'NAME' then
    { change font color to red }
    (Sender as TDBGrid).Canvas.Font.Color := clRed;
  { draw text in the grid }
  (Sender as TDBGrid).Canvas.TextRect(Rect, Rect.Left + 2, Rect.Top + 2,
                                      Field.AsString);
end;
