Posted: 24 Jul 02 (Edited 6 Oct 02)

Hi,

Many times the question is asked, but their is not much helpfull code. This code will do the trick.
Put the code in the onDrawColumnCell event and watch it happen

procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect;
  DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn; State: TGridDrawState);
begin
  if (gdSelected in State) then
  begin
     DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clPurple;
     DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clLime;
     DBGrid1.Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
     DBGrid1.Canvas.TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top,Column.Field.AsString);
  end
  else
  begin
     DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clBlue;
     DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clAqua;
     DBGrid1.Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
     DBGrid1.Canvas.TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top,Column.Field.AsString);
  end;
end;
