Thanks John that does help. What I found kind of confusing was that
with the tdbgrid I used the DrawColumnCell procedure to set up the
font and colors and, if necessary the drawing of bitmaps. With the
tib_grid I need to use the DrawCell for the drawing and GetCellProps
for the font and colors. I was hoping to get everything done in one
procedure.
