Delphi Programming Tutorial #24 - DBGrid OnDrawColumnCell

LearnDelphi.tv
In this Delphi tutorial we are going to look at how to take advantage of the OnDrawColumnCell event on the TDBGrid component. In particular we are going to examine how to make every second row a different colour (Sky Blue) and how we can change the appearance of the text depending on the data.
PS. Sky Blue is not compulsory (and perhaps not even recommended).

This was actually the best resolution on KZbin when this video was made. There was also a 10 minute length limit, aahhh, the good old days - may they never return

[@Potew]

@@codegearguru Sure, but that video looks a bit blurry!!

[@johnston.scott64]

Blurry. Since I have to learn this, I'd like to be able to read it.

[@codegearguru]

This was made back in the day when this was the best quality that KZbin offered

[@joewesleypat]

I thought it was my cataracts! ;p

[@randywipert6759]

can I get the sample datasets

[@sibusisodlamini2366]

May I ask what field type does an image need to be to be displayed on a dBimage?

[@codegearguru]

Historically it was a TGraphicField, but it might work with a TBlobField
