Is there a Firemonkey alternative to the TStringGrid control?

There is a Grid control but I am not sure I would consider it an alternative except for the fact that both are grids... they are wildly different components.

Seems like a great deal of work for the end result but thanks for letting me realize the task at hand to acheive this. No wonder most people resist using the themed settings in these components except where absolutely required.

Cam someone guide me on how to set the text in a TStringGrid cell to be center aligned instead of the default left aligned using Delphi XE3? The typical OnDrawCell routines do not work when the DrawingStyle is set to gdsThemed, but they do work with this property set to gdsClassic or gdsGradient. &nbsp;With this DrawingStyle setting and DefaultDrawing property set to True, you get the text in both locations, left and center aligned because the default drawing routines for the themed style have already run before your custom OnDrawCell event is executed. If you turn the DefaultDrawing property to Falsae, you lose all of the themed cell drawing which defeats the use of gdsThemed as your style.

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.

Delphi

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, largely (but not exclusively) intended to teach students structured programming and data structuring. Pasca was implemented on a wide range of architectures, from early PCs to mainframes. Pascal derivatives include OOP-based Object Pascal (used in Delphi and Lazarus/Free Pascal). Pascal is a purely procedural language and includes control statements with reserved words, but has many data structuring facilities and other abstractions like type definitions, records, pointers, enumerations, and sets.

Pascal

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
