I haven't implemented your full solution yet, but I have taken your canvas.brush.color settings, which has put me on the right track.<br />
<br />
Thanks again. The TStringGrid provides great functionality, but it takes a bit of work, and I can see that there is a learning curve I haven't quite mastered yet.

When I turn off default drawing for a TStringGrid, I lose the fixed Row highlighting (on the first row in this case).<br />
<br />
I needed to turn default drawing off as I want to use the TA_CENTER function on the headings, and TA_RIGHT on some of the columns. If I don't turn it off, the data appear twice in each column.<br />
<br />
Can I set the background color in the DrawCell function; or is there some other way to solve this problem?
