Cells font and color

Fonts and coloring of the data grid

Working with the Grid Fonts

Use TDBGridEh.Font property to set the font for the entire grid. Changing the properties of TDBGridEh.Font will affect all cells of the grid that use the font "Default" or "Not stored". For example, if you change the font in the column grid - TColumnEh.Font, font properties are locked at the column level, and it will always use the font TColumnEh.Font no matter how the TDBGridEh.Font. To return the column to the state when they are using the font TDBGridEh.Font it must be removed from the property value cvFont TColumnEh.AssignedValues. Each element of the grid, which have the Font property, has the additional property to set the state "use the default font" This property has a name a AssignedValues or ParentFont. For example, to work with the font header columns use properties TitleParams.Font of TFont type and TitleParams.ParentFont of Boolean type.

The background color of the cells in the grid

To set the background grid use the TDBGridEh.Color and TDBGridEh.FixedColor properties.
TDBGridEh.Color property is responsible for the background color in the cells of data and the areas not shaded cells. TDBGridEh.FixedColor property is responsible for the color of the fixed cells. Changing of the TDBGridEh.Color property will affect the entire grid cell that uses the background color of the "default" or "Not stored" state. For example, if you change the color in the column grid TColumnEh.Color, the color will be fixed at the column level, and it will always use the TColumnEh.Color regardless of how the property TDBGridEh.Color is changed. To return the column to the state when they use color TDBGridEh.Color the cvColor value must be removed TColumnEh.AssignedValues property. Each element of the grid which have a of Color property, also has the additional property to set the "use color by default." This property has a AssignedValues or ParentColor name.

Font and background data cells

To customize the font and background colors of cells with data using the following properties:
Columns[i].Font, Columns[i].Color – to set the font and background colors for a particular column
EvenRowColor, OddRowColor – to set the color even and odd entries in the grid. To work correctly, the DataSet must correctly return the record number through the property DataSet.RecNo.

3D и flat grid style.

Use the property TDBGridEh.OptionsEh to display / hide the frame around the 3D-fixed, fixed, footers and rows of data.
Use TDBGridEh.Flat property to display the grid in the "flat-style".

Style display of the selected cell and the selection

By default, the grid automatically adjusts the style of shading selected cell and fixed-grid areas, depending on the color scheme Windows and project settings in IDE Project Options-> Application-> Runtime thems.

In Classic mode, the cell is painted with a solid color

Themed mode uses a grid class objects Vcl.Themes.StyleServices to fill cells in a certain style.

You can set the style of the selected cell staining for each individual using the SelectionDrawParams.SelectionStyle and SelectionDrawParams.DrawFocusFrame property.
You can also set the style of the selected cell globally for all project Grids. To do this, use the properties of the global object and GridsEh.GridDefaultDrawStyleEh.SelectionStyle GridsEh.GridDefaultDrawStyleEh.DrawFocusFrame.

Selecting and highlighting the current record

To activate, when the grid is always select the whole record, set dgRowSelect value in the Options property.
To illuminate the current record in the grid, set dghRowHighlight value in the OptionsEh property.
