Use OnDrawColumnCell event of DBGrid component with the following code. This example will paint each cell to green color, if these cells are odd.
procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect; DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn; State: TGridDrawState); var HoldColor: TColor; begin HoldColor:=DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color; if Column.FieldName='EmpNo' then if (Column.Field.AsInteger mod 2 <> 0) then begin DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color:=clGreen; DBGrid1.DefaultDrawColumnCell(Rect, DataCol, Column, State); DBGrid1.Canvas.Brush.Color:=HoldColor; end; end;
