Hello,

You can use OnDrawCell event, for example:

procedure TMainForm.UniStringGrid1DrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  var Value: string; Attribs: TUniCellAttribs);
begin
  if ACol = 2 then
  begin
    Attribs.Font.Color := clGreen
  end;

end;

Is there any way to do the entire column?  If an item in row 2 for example is a value, I want the entire column to be a color?

 

Use case:  If column 4 row 2 is "Sunday" I want the entire column 4 background color to be green.

Hmm, I think, under such a condition, this event will not work.

So,
On a blank form I drop a uniStringGrid.
Add 3 columns.
set row count to 4.
set Using the object inspector for column[2] I set the color to green.
No effect.

I can determine the columns  that will have the different background colors ahead of time with some extra work, but even if I do, the column  color has no effect.  Am I doing something wrong?  Shouldn't I be able to set both column color and row color?

Maybe better to use UniDBGrid?

I think that at some point I may end up using a dbgrid.  Here is what I'm after.  I don't seem to be able to figure out a way to do it via uniGUI.

I will analyze.

Thank you.  If column color worked, it would be no problem.

After looking at using DBGrid, the column color works but does not extend to the fixed column cell at the top.  But I lose the ability to specify fixed rows and fixed columns.  I need 2 title lines at the to.  Plus still no way to manage cell outline colors.  

These grids definitely need some attention.  I could patch some of this but even with the source,  I can't build due to select missing .pas files. For example, cell color being forced to clWhite by default in StringGrid which overrides the column color method of the component.  :-(
