The following code writes text horizontally centered in the cells. Set
DefaultDrawing to false. It's not complete and I don't know if that's the
quick way, but it could be a hint.

void __fastcall TForm1::StringGrid1DrawCell(TObject *Sender, int ACol,
int ARow, TRect &Rect, TGridDrawState State)
{
if (State.Contains(gdFixed))
StringGrid1->Canvas->Brush->Color = StringGrid1->FixedColor;
else
StringGrid1->Canvas->Brush->Color = StringGrid1->Color;
StringGrid1->Canvas->FillRect(Rect);
String StringText = StringGrid1->Cells[ACol][ARow];
StringGrid1->Canvas->TextRect(Rect, (Rect.Width() -
StringGrid1->Canvas->TextWidth(StringText)) / 2 + Rect.Left, Rect.Top + 1,
StringText);
if (State.Contains(gdFocused)) StringGrid1->Canvas->DrawFocusRect(Rect);
}

Hope this helps.

Bye,

Steve.

Centers horizontally and vertically.

void __fastcall TForm1::StringGrid1DrawCell(TObject *Sender, int ACol,
int ARow, TRect &Rect, TGridDrawState State)
{

StringGrid1->Canvas->Brush->Color = clWhite;
StringGrid1->Canvas->FillRect(Rect);
StringGrid1->Canvas->Font->Color=clBlue;
StringGrid1->Canvas->Font->Style=TFontStyles()<< fsBold;
AnsiString StringToAlign=StringGrid1->Cells[ACol][ARow];
int
StringStartH=(Rect.Left+Rect.Right)/2-StringGrid1->Canvas->TextWidth(StringT
oAlign)/2;
int
StringStartV=(Rect.Top+Rect.Bottom)/2-StringGrid1->Canvas->TextHeight(String
ToAlign)/2;
StringGrid1->Canvas->TextOut(StringStartH,StringStartV,StringToAlign);
}
}

You can draw it yourself, like in the methods listed here or
outlined by Damon Chandler at http://bcbcaq.freeservers.com .

Or, even better, you can get a new component that handles it better.
There's a million of them out there. Here's a sampler of some I've found:

Orpheus by TurboPower : huge toolkit, pretty expensive, does everything
http://www.turbopower.com

ExpressGrid by Developer Express :
http://www.devexpress.com/products/vcl/product.asp?prodid=10

Colosseum Builders TColossalGrid : For some reason they've stopped "supporting Borland
products", but:

ObjectSights's TopGrid : http://www.topsupport.com/

TMS software's TAdvStringGrid : I've used this one in the past and it's pretty good.
http://www.tmssoftware.com/

IMCA Systems TFlyGrid: http://www.imcasys.com/

Woll2Woll's Infopower: http://www.woll2woll.com

ProfGrid : http://www.geocities.com/profgrid

CoolGrid (part of CoolControls) : http://www.cooldev.com
