A cell in blue is shown in a StringGrid control, but I don't want so

hi skel,

set gridoption : goDrawFocusSelected to False.

Zif.

StringGrid1.Options:=StringGrid1.Options+[goDrawFocusSelected]

Hello....Everyone could answer that.... but Zif answered it first, so if skel likes it he has to give the credit to Zif

Quite right--it is an easy question.  However, like your answer to my question, Viktor, if the answer isn't spelled out better, it can be useless for a beginner.  I spelled it out so he could actually use the answer even if he didn't know very much.  I figured he wanted to do this programmatically.  I don't much care who gets the points--I certainly don't need them.

Well, I don't know if someone is a beginner and I ain't planning to ask.... When I was one of them no one asked me...."Are you a beginnir or not??" .... If you don't understand something about the answer you ask furthur questiuons until you are sure you understand...That's the purpose of E-E

btw- If skel didn't understand theanswer he would ask for some code...or something....

Hi all!! thanks for the answers... I have these options "TRUE" in Grid Options...

[goFixedVertLine,goFixedHorzLine,goVertLine,goHorzLine]

the rest is FALSE, but when I run the application... it's still showing the blue square in the grid.

I tried with all options FALSE, and the result is the same. The control is TStringGrid.

What's the problem?
Jaime

Here is a solution.....

SG = StringGrid

In OnDrawCell() of the string grid do this....

procedure TForm1.SGDrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
begin
    if not((ACol = 0) and (ARow = 0)) then
        SG.Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
end;

btw- I hope you remmember about the credit if this helps ya

It didn't worked :(

What didn't go well?? Tell me any error messages or something...so I can help you firthur more...

If you are using Delphi 3 I think that you need to use Col Row instead of ACol ARow....I'm not sure though...

Hi skel et al,

Viktornet, just tried your code out on D3. It's correct about Col and Row but the bue box keeps there the first time (when clicked it goes away), its like the other solutions.

This works (I hope)

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1DrawCell(Sender: TObject; Col, Row: Integer;
  Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
  var HoldColor : TColor;
begin
 with sender as TStringGrid do begin
  if (gdSelected in State) then begin
   HoldColor :=Canvas.Brush.Color;
   Canvas.Brush.Color := (Sender as TStringGrid).Color;
   Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
   Canvas.Brush.Color := HoldColor;
  end;
 end;
end;

Regards, Zif.

Hi... It finally works with ZifNab solution, but I didn't use HoldColor variable and sentences associated with it. I got the effect that when the control looses focus, the actual selected cell remains in white, that's good for my application. How can I grade Zif answer instead of mikepj one which was the original answer? I don't know where to change name of the graded person.

Viktornet: I realized immediately that I had to change ACol into Col and ARow into Row.... when I said it didn't work I refered that it didn't do what I wanted to do, not that it didn't compiled.

Thanks a lot for your answers
Jaime

Hi skel,

I wasn't already sure if HoldColor was needed, but I thought it couldn't to anything wrong, besides it was late and I was to lousy to try it without (sorry).

I'm glad it works now.

If you want to give the points to me, then you've to reject the answer of mikepj (sorry mikepj). Then I can answer the q'n and then you can grade it.

Regards, Zif.

Hi Zif.. you can answer the question now :)

thanks for all and bye
Jaime
