Hello,

converting from TSMDBGrid. Found a few samples in respect to painting a row in a particular color depending on a field value, but all of them access the field value per index.

I have a field called OPERATION. Depending on the value of that field, the other columns for this particular row should be painted in a different color. When using the CellColoring event, how do I access the field value of a particular field by it's underlaying TDataSet field name.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

You may access to Column[x].Field property.

This property represents a Field of currently active record.

CODE

var
  Field: TField;
begin
  Field := NextDBGrid1.Columns[ACol].Field;
  if Field.AsInteger = 4 then CellColor := clRed;

Best regards

Hello Boki,

I know that example, the thing is, I can't access the field/column by a numeric index. I need to access the field/column by its underlaying database table field name.

Thanks,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

There is a property for accessing column by it's name:

CODE

NextGrid1.ColumnByName['colname'].Width

But I am not sure that this is what you need.

Best regards
