[Solved] TStringGrid Column set to taRightJustify

[Avishai]

If you set a TStringGrid Column to taRightJustify, it becomes Left Justified when you edit the cell.  If you then leave the Grid, the cell remains Left Justified.  Is there a way to force it to be Right Justified both when editing the cell and when you leave the Grid?

I cannot confirm this.  Yes, a text in cell is aligned to left during the editing mode but when I leave it then it become right-aligned as expected.

Hey Blaazan, good to hear from you again.  If I move from the Right Aligned cell to another cell in the grid, the Right Aligned cell becomes Right Aligned.  But if I move from the Right Aligned cell to another control, the cell remains Left Aligned.  Maybe this is only under Windows.

But if I move from the Right Aligned cell to another control, the cell remains Left Aligned.

I was able to reproduce this. The StringGrid must have Options.goAlwaysShowEditor=True . The Cell stays in editing mode and therefore is aligned to left.
See screenshot. On the screenshot the SpinEdit on the right has just focus.
I am not sure if this is a bug. IMO cell should leave editing mode when stringgrid losts focus.

Thanks Blaazan, you solved another problem for me.  Setting Options.goAlwaysShowEditor=False, the cell Right Justifies when I leave the Grid.  I don't know how long it would have taken me to find that on my own.   I still wish it could be Right Aligned during Edit, but at least it displays properly in the end.
