I have a grid with 5 columns and 1..n rows.
How can I set the text in column 2 (all rows) in red font color, and all other columns in black font color?
A sample would be great.
A possible solution:

or use property grid.FontColors[col,row]: TColor to set each cell's font color.
Or alternatively, use TAdvColumnGrid and use
grid.Columns[col].Font.Color: TColor
I use a lot of StringGrids in my program. Most of them display data only, and no insert/edit of data is allowed.
For displaying data only, is TAdvColumnGrid a better choice or does it not matter?
TAdvColumnGrid just a slightly more convenient choice for cases where all data visualization & handling is managed strictly column-wise.
But if you already implemented TAdvStringGrid, you can do the same via event handlers like OnGetCellColor.
