    1. CO+1. In addition to your edit based on Remy's comment: Since the question asked about a specific *cell*, you should probably show how to change only one cell by using the `ACol` and `ARow` parameters (and maybe explain the call to `InflateRect` - as a suggestion, though, you don't need a separate var; you can directly pass `Rect` to `InflateRect`, since it's not declared as a `const`).

    2. CO@Ken I added some more explanations and the cell check. Initially I was tempted to give "use another component providing more formatting features" as the real answer as I find custom drawing always a bit dangerous because it might destroy the native look and feel. It is probably better to draw all cells custom than to risk that the other cells somehow look differently. And regarding the Rect: I am cautious. Maybe somebody decides to add code to the end of the method using Rect, unaware of the change I made to the values.

    3. COHeinrich, the asker should know when changing it that they're modifying the `Rect`. If someone else is changing it, they should be reading the existing code before doing so. :) Nice edits - it makes the answer more self-explanatory to someone new to Delphi that finds this answer in a search. Re: cell color, you can handle drawing the default look by checking for fixed rows and cols and skipping them, using `clWindow` and `clWindowText` (or `clHighlight` and `clHighlightText` depending on `State`), and basically by calling only `InflateRect` and `TextRect` if the cell is NOT to be drawn.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
