Hi.. hopefully a simple question, but here goes

I'm using a dbgrid and would like to highlight all negative values by
changing the font colour of these items to red.

Anyone able to assist with this ?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Use the OnDrawColumnCell event of the DbGrid, see Delphi's help for more
information

      DBGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clRed;       { Font color }
      DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;    { Cell color }
    end;
  DBGrid1.DefaultDrawColumnCell(Rect, DataCol, Column, State)
