It can be done easily....the below snippet should get you started.....

Assign the onDrawCell Event.....

procedure TilvsClientForm.JobGridDrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow:
Integer;
Rect: TRect; State: TGridDrawState);
begin
if jobGrid.DataSource.DataSet.Active then
if ACol = BOOLEANCOLUMN then begin
if JobGrid.BuffFields[Acol-1].AsBoolean = TRUE then
JobGrid.Canvas.Draw(Rect.Left,Rect.Top,BitMapTick)
else
JobGrid.Canvas.Draw(Rect.Left,Rect.Top,BitMapCross);
end else
with jobGrid do DefaultDrawCell( ACol, ARow,
Rect,
State,
GetCellDisplayText( ACol, ARow ),
GetCellAlignment( ACol, ARow ));
end;

You need to set the column width the match the bitmap width also.

Similar code can also place bitmaps in the Header Row, by hooking the
onDrawTitle event, and detecting the correct ACol.
