In the button1 click event I would fetch the data and I would fill not the cells but the objects of the cells with the a flag about the color I want, like SG.Objects[col,row]:= TObject(n) where n could be an integer that denotes the index in a collor array e.g. MyArrayOfColors[1..3] of TColor Then in the procedure TOverviewForm.SGDrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow:Integer;Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState); i would have idx := Integer(SG.Objects[Acol, Arow); if idx>0 then begin SG.Canvas.Brush.Color := MyArrayOfColors[Integer(SG.Objects[Acol, Arow)] SG.Canvas.FillRect(Rect); end; ========== So there is not need to fetch all the time the data The code is by mind so just catch the idea Sorry for my english Antonis Tsourinakis *************************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
