Changing selection bar color in DBGrid

Edited text of question

Shouldnt it be like this:

begin  
   with TCustomeDBGridCracker(Sender) do
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      if DataLink.ActiveRecord = Row - 1 then
         Canvas.Brush.Color := clRed
      else
         Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;
   DefaultDrawColumnCell(Rect, DataCol, Column, State);
end;

Hi,

Try this maybe a solution to your problem. Just simple place a dbgrid component to
your form (eg dbgrid1 in this case)

And use following code into the drawdatacell procedure;

this works for me,

<--------------------------------------->

procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DrawDataCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect; Field: TField; State: TGridDrawState);
begin
    if gdSelected in State then
      DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clBlue
    else
      DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;
  DBGrid1.DefaultDrawDataCell(Rect,Field,State);
end;

A little more clarification may be necessary.  Your code works fine for coloring just the
selected CELL.  What I want to do, is color the entire ROW that the selected cell is in, but I do not want to us the dgRowSelect property of the dbgrid.
