You can use TStringGrid's OnDrawCell event. Look Delphi Help to get a pretty good example.

I managed to code something near OK with Canvas.FillRect(Rect) stuff but there is a little problem: &nbsp;I can't put text in there since it paints the whole cell...<br />
<br />
any help ?<br />
Thanks

Why not use the TStringAlignGrid component available free from <a href="http://www.hoerstemeier.com" rel="ugc">www.hoerstemeier.com</a>&nbsp;- it allows all of what you have asked and an awful lot more.<br />

Hello guys!<br />
<br />
How do I format each unique row of a StringGrid ?<br />
<br />
Example: how can I alternate white and gray rows in a list put in a StringGrid (five rows: white, gray, white, gray, white) ?<br />
<br />
Also, how can I NOT get the selected blue highlight when I click on the grid ?<br />
<br />
At last, how can I align a single cell ?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
