I want to be able to change the background color to clYellow for the
currently highlighted row in a dbGrid.  I'm aware of the RowSelect property
that does this, but the problem with RowSelect is when it's on I can't Edit.
So, what I want to do is handle this manually.  I'm currently using
OnDrawColumnCell to change colors of the font when a record contains certain
data, and that's no problem.  But, what I need to do to accomplish this is
highlight ONLY the currently selected row by making the Canvas.Color (I
assume) := clYellow.  How do I determine if it's drawing the row that
represents the currently selected record?

Hi Jesse,

And you checked this:

  TGridDrawState in the DrawDataCell ???

(with OwnerDraw = True)

HTH,
