Align cells in a TStringGrid (2)

Problem/Question/Abstract:

I need to right-align text in certain cells of a TStringGrid. How can I do that?

Answer:

Solve 1:

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1DrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
var
  dx: integer;
  Text: string;
begin
  if aCol in [1..2] then {If column is 1 or 2, then right-align text}
    with StringGrid1.Canvas do
    begin
      FillRect(Rect);
      Text := StringGrid1.cells[aCol, aRow];
      dx := TextWidth(Text) + 2;
      TextOut(Rect.Right - dx, Rect.Top, Text);
    end;
end;


Solve 2:

procedure TForm1.StringGrid1DrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
const
  CharOffset = 3;
var
  fLeft: Integer;
begin
  {Right justify column 3}
  if (ACol = 3) then
  begin
    with TStringGrid(Sender) do
    begin
      Canvas.FillRect(Rect);
      fLeft := Rect.Right - Canvas.TextWidth(Cells[ACol, ARow]);
      Canvas.TextOut(fleft - CharOffset, Rect.Top + CharOffset, Cells[ACol, ARow]);
    end;
  end;
end;

The following code aligns the strings of the first column in a TStringGrid to the right:

procedure DrawTheText(ACanvas: TCanvas; ARect: TRect;
  AValue: string; AAlign: TAlignment);
var
  horzOffset: integer;
  options: integer;
  vertOffset: integer;
begin
  {Note: The Handle property of TCanvas is the handle of its DC.}
  with ACanvas do
  begin
    vertOffset := ARect.Top + (((ARect.Bottom - ARect.Top) -
                        TextExtent(AValue).CY) div 2);
    horzOffset := TextExtent('Mi').CX div 4;
      {Yields rougly the width of an "average" character}
    options := ETO_CLIPPED or ETO_OPAQUE;
    case AAlign of
      taLeftJustify:
        begin
          SetTextAlign(Handle, TA_LEFT or TA_TOP or TA_NOUPDATECP);
          ExtTextOut(Handle, ARect.Left + horzOffset, vertOffset, options,
            @ARect, PChar(AValue), Length(AValue), nil);
        end;
      taRightJustify:
        begin
          SetTextAlign(Handle, TA_RIGHT or TA_TOP or TA_NOUPDATECP);
          ExtTextOut(Handle, ARect.Right - horzOffset, vertOffset, options,
            @ARect, PChar(AValue), Length(AValue), nil);
        end;
      taCenter:
        begin
          horzOffset := ((ARect.Right - ARect.Left) - TextExtent(AValue).CX) div 2;
          SetTextAlign(Handle, TA_LEFT or TA_TOP or TA_NOUPDATECP);
          ExtTextOut(Handle, ARect.Left + horzOffset, vertOffset, options,
            @ARect, PChar(AValue), Length(AValue), nil);
        end;
    end;
  end;
end;
