Coloring cells in C++ builder, StringGrid












0















I tried to do this:



void __fastcall TTetrisGame::DrawGrid1DrawCell(TObject *Sender, int ACol, int ARow,
TRect &Rect, TGridDrawState State)
{
this->Canvas->Brush->Color=clBlue;
this->Canvas->FillRect(Rect);
}


But it is a really weird result. I put my StringGrid in the middle of the window but I can't see any Blue color. Instead, it is transparent. I see a colored blue Grid in the right top corner of my window.



What am I doing wrong?



How can I color each cell individually?

          You are painting on the wrong Canvas.



          Inside your OnDrawCell event handler, this refers to the parent Form, because the handler is a member of the TTetrisGame class. As such, you are painting on the Form's Canvas. You need to paint on the Grid's Canvas instead:



          void __fastcall TTetrisGame::DrawGrid1DrawCell(TObject *Sender, int ACol, int ARow, TRect &Rect, TGridDrawState State)
          {
          DrawGrid1->Canvas->Brush->Color=clBlue;
          DrawGrid1->Canvas->FillRect(Rect);
          }
