Color the colom of the selected cell
Posted on 2004-09-17
A good morning to you all.
I have a string grid, with data in it.
Has 6 rows and 3 colums. Want I need to be able to do is color the colum that has the selected cell. So, If the click on a cell in coloum 2 that whole colums color becomes dark blue. Or if they selected a cell in coloum 1 that whole colums color would go dark blue.
Basically, it's getting the selected cells coloum and using that on the ondraw event - shouldn't be to hard :)

I assume that you've 1 fixed row and no fixed col...
var
Form1: TForm1;
BlueCol: Integer;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm1.StringGrid1DrawCell
Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
begin
If (ACOl=BlueCOl) and (ARow > 0) then
StringGrid1.Canvas.Brush.C
else
StringGrid1.Canvas.Brush.C
StringGrid1.Canvas.FillRec
end;
procedure TForm1.StringGrid1SelectCe
ARow: Integer; var CanSelect: Boolean);
begin
BlueCOl := ACol;
STringGrid1.Refresh;
end;
F68 ;-)

LoL, didn't think of doing it that way - well done :)
Doing it that way also solves another problem I thought I was going to have!!
Top job and speedy reply.

Ohh one thing (if u got a sec)
Can I make it so when I click say, a button I can select a row in a certain cell in the string grid?
Ie, click button and on the string grid it selects stringgrid.cells[0,2]
Thought there would be a way to call stringgrid.select[0,2] but alas there isnt. If its a quick 5 seconds then sweet. Otherwise I will create a new question :)
Cheers

What about calling
Procedure TForm1.Button1CLick(Sender
begin
STringGrid1.Col := 0;
StringGrid1.Row := 2;
end;
Procedure TForm1.Button1CLick(Sender
begin
STringGrid1.Col := 0;
StringGrid1.Row := 2;
end;
