goediting and word wrap in stringgrid gives problem

Posted by Deepthy on December 01, 2006

I gave coding to edit directly into the stringgrid and a word wrap coding also (Please see the below coding). But at a time both will not work. If i want to edit directly into the cells of stringgrid the word wrap will not work, if i remove the coding of goediting then the word wrap will work find. Do anybody have a solution for this. I want to edit directly into the stringgrid cell without using and edit control and the word wrap should also happen, what can i do for this? If anybody can help please help me......

For word wrap in the string grid. In this case i have to use an edit box to edit the cell of the stringgrid

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1DrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol,
  ARow: Integer; Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
var
  P : array[0..255] of Char;
  RTRowHeight : integer;
begin
  { Here checks for the row and column and setting row width }
  if (ARow >= 1) and (ACol = 2) then
  begin
    StringGrid1.Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
    StrPCopy(P, StringGrid1.Cells[2, ARow]);
    { Here happens the word wrap }
    RTRowHeight := DrawText(StringGrid1.Canvas.Handle, P, -1, Rect, DT_WORDBREAK);
    { Here it adjust the rowheight according to the requirement. }
    if RTRowHeight > StringGrid1.RowHeights[ARow] then
    begin
      StringGrid1.RowHeights[ARow]:= RTRowHeight + 2;
    end;
  end;
end;

In order to edit directly into a particular cell of the stringgrid

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1SelectCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  var CanSelect: Boolean);
begin
  if ((ACol = 2) and (ARow = 1)) then
  begin
    StringGrid1.Options := StringGrid1.Options + [goEditing];
  end
  else
  begin
    StringGrid1.Options := StringGrid1.Options - [goEditing];
  end;
end;

Thanks,
Deepthy
