The TMS TAdvStringGrid component is designed to be used in the broadest types of applications needing to display or handle data in rows and columns. TAdvStringGrid is designed as drop-in replacement for the Borland TStringGrid component. As such, it is fully compatible with TStringGrid and inherits all functionality of the base class TStringGrid. For documentation on this base functionality, we refer to the Borland documentation. This manual therefore assumes the developer is familiar with the functionality of TStringGrid. For example, a grid cell value can be set with grid.Cells[col,row]: string just like in TStringGrid. The focused cell can be set with grid.Row: integer and grid.Col: integer properties, also just like TStringGridThis project shows how to set cell colors (including cell data dependent colors), alignment in C++Builder as well as different sorting styles and also how to have different hints.

First of all, to populate the grid, data from a CSV file is used. In the FormCreate routine, this data is loaded. The column header text is set at design time, using the ColumnHeaders property. This is the code to load the data :First, the SaveFixedCells property is set to FALSE, because the data for the fixed cells is not stored in the CSV file. This property controls whether this data is saved or loaded in the SaveToCSV, LoadFromCSV, SaveToFile, LoadFromFile functions. After loading the CSV file, the columns are autosized with the AutoSizeColumns method. The first parameter controls whether fixed columns are also sized. Since there are no fixed columns in this example, the first parameter makes no sense and is set to FALSE. The second parameter is the padding parameter and determines how much pixels to add to the width of the longest string in a column. This padding is especially useful to avoid that text from two consecutive columns are too close to each other and become unreadable as well as to make sure the sorting indicator (little arrow in column header) is always visible. The value of 8 makes sure there is always room left for the indicator. As an alternative, the EnhTextSize property can be used to automatically resize the string and use “…” at the end if the text does not fit.

Next, the OnGetCellColor event is used to set the cell color & font properties for each cell. This event handler is called for every cell and allows to choose different fonts, colors and font styles for each cell. In this example, only the color for the first column is changed and the color of the “Cylinder” column is changed depending on the value of the cell.
