DBGrid & row color

 begin
    { Set default font color }
    DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clBlack;
    { Is current cell the focused cell? }
    if (gdFocused in State) then begin
      DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clBlack;
      DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clWhite;
    end
    { Not focused, is it the target field Terms? }
    else if (Field.FieldName = MYFIELDNAMEHERE) then
      { Check field content for one of two possible values }
      if (Field.AsString = 'o') then
        { If field contains "o" paint  green}
        DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clGreen
      else
        { If field contains "n" paint red }
        DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clPaleRed
    else
      { Paint non-focused and non-target cells white }
      DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;
       DBGrid1.DefaultDrawDataCell(Rect, Field, State);
  end;

Oops, the code should be place in the TDBGrids OnDrawDataCell event

see the entir article here:

Attention, I wish all ROW colored and NOT only CELL where is displayed 'o' or 'n'.

Your code change the color just for cell. This can be done more easier in DrawColumn.

The message was for shaneholmes :)

sorry, i extrapolated from the link i provided, and didn't change everything that was appropriate to your question

it could have easily been changed to test the fieldbyname versus each individual field

if (DBGrid1.FieldByName = MYFIELDNAMEHERE) = '0' then
        DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clGreen
      else
if (DBGrid1.FieldByName = MYFIELDNAMEHERE) = '1' then
          DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clPaleRed


Oh well, you win some, you loose some

Still color just a cell.

I have a new problem. In my project I have a DBGrid with specified columns. When I test these comments I used a demo project where I show all fields. In this case all work perfect.

But when I ported the demo code to my app don't work. Look alike DrawCell isn't called when I declare some columns. Some help here? New 250 points available.

Found already a way in DrawColumn event. Thanks for support!
