A: You must respond to the OnDrawCell event and draw the particulaur column of cells yourself. YOu can leave DefaultDrawing set to True and just *overwrite* the default drawing of your particular column - this is easier than totally taking over drawing. To right-align a cell's text:
VAR vCol, vRow : LongInt;
begin
vCol := Col;
vRow := Row;
WITH Sender AS TStringGrid, Canvas DO
IF vCol = 2 THEN BEGIN
SetTextAlign(Handle, TA_RIGHT);
FillRect(Rect);
TextRect(Rect, Rect.RIGHT - 2, Rect.Top
+ 2,
Cells[vCol, vRow]);
END;
end;
