hiding a cell hiding its lines....

Hi,

In a TStringGrid object it is possible to hide a column by seting the ColWidths property to 0, but the lines around the rectangle are still there, how can I hide them?

I tried to use
StringGrid->Canvas->Pen->Style = psClear
but does nothing, the lines are still there making a thick
line along the grid as two consecutive columns are being hidden.

Antonio.

Hello Antonio,

The easy way is to set the width of the column to -1 and not to 0!!
That makes sure the ugly lines do not appear!!

eg.

    StringGrid1->ColWidths[2] = -1;

Good Luck!
