Draw FNCGrid on a specified TRect

[Robert_Devine]

Might seem like an odd request, but is it possible to draw an FNCGrid directly on a specified TRect rather than using that provided by the parent component?

Cheers, Bob

Not at all, it's possible, but only with TTMSFNCDataGrid.

procedure TForm1.PaintBox1Paint(Sender: TObject; Canvas: TCanvas);
var
  g: TTMSFNCGraphics;
begin
  g := TTMSFNCGraphics.Create(Canvas);
  try
    TMSFNCDataGrid1.Root.Export(g, PaintBox1.LocalRect, MakeCellRange(0, 0, TMSFNCDataGrid1.ColumnCount - 1, TMSFNCDataGrid1.RowCount - 1));
  finally
    g.Free;
  end;
end;

Looks interesting thanks - a quick look at the source and it appears that it can do everything the FNCGrid can do (e.g. cell merging, multi-cell selections and virtual mode) plus a lot more? In other words I could use it for spreadsheet-style grids?

Cheers, Bob

Hi,

It's unclear which features for spreadsheet-style grids you refer to, but TTMSFNCDataGrid is the successor of TTMSFNCGrid, so it's preferable to use now and in the future.
