Isn't the grid painting > double buffered? Well, I have a special grid mediator that must redraw a TCustomDrawGrid cell, but I don't want it to do this unless it is absolutely necessary. So I tell the grid to invalidate the cell and have it figure out whether the repaint is needed or not. (and in doing so, it calculates all needed parameters such as the cell rectangle and so on) For a stringgrid, setting the cell text will do whatever is needed, but that doesn't work in a TCustomDrawGrid. But somehow the InvalidateCell doesn't show up in the code completion. I just get "Invalidate", which I found strange, and so I asked the question. I'll investigate this. Thanks to everyone for the answers. Michael. _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
