Avoiding flicker on DrawCell

Question:

When I set the font color on a DrawGrid's DrawCell event using Font.Color := clRed; I get an endless loop of flicker. How can I get around this?

Answer:

Be sure to fully qualify the canvas that you are using.

Example:

  If (Row = 0) then begin

  DrawGrid1.Canvas.Font.Color := clRed;

  DrawGrid1.Canvas.TextOut(Rect.Left,Rect.Top, IntToStr(Col));

end;
