How to fix owner draw anomaly in DBGrid?

Question

Continuing with the project started in:

How to auto fit/scale DBGrid's (or other similar) columns widths according to its contents?

I used the @alzaimar answer to auto fit the columns according to their content width, but he showed me how to increase the width, but not how to decrease, so I complemented the code as shown above:

procedure TRecordsBrowserFrameBase.JvDBGrid2DrawColumnCell(Sender: TObject; const Rect: TRect; DataCol: Integer; Column: TColumn; State: TGridDrawState);
var
  h, p, g, r, w, t : Integer;
const
  colSpc = 10;
begin
{ ajusta as colunas de uma grade de acordo com o conteúdo das células }
  h := Column.DropDownRows;
  p := (Sender as TJvDBGrid).CurrentDrawRow;
  g := Column.Width;
  r := (Sender as TJvDBGrid).VisibleRowCount;
  w := colSpc + (Sender as TJvDBGrid).Canvas.TextExtent(Column.Field.DisplayText).cx;
  t := colSpc + (Sender as TJvDBGrid).Canvas.TextExtent(Column.Title.Caption).cx;
{$WARNINGS OFF}
  // increase column width if needed
  if (w > g) then Column.Width := w;
  if (g < t) then Column.Width := t;
  if (p < r) and (h < w) then Column.DropDownRows := w;
  // decrease column size if needed (10th line)
  if (p = r) then
  begin
    h := Column.DropDownRows;
    g := Column.Width;
    if (h > t) and (h < g) then Column.Width := Column.DropDownRows;
    Column.DropDownRows := 0;
  end;
{$WARNINGS ON}
end;

So, now when I scroll with the down arrow key, the selected row color does not always is in the correct position as you can see in this picture:

What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

This solution makes all columns expand or shrink according to it's contents, without care if there has to be scroll bars or not, and fix the selected cell drawing malfunction and the the record pointer malfunction.

type
  TColumnAutoAdjust = record {Save the information responsible for setting column widths in the grid}
    Field: String;           {Field name whose information is being stored}
    Registered: Boolean;     {Indicates whether the size of this column already registered}
    Updated: Boolean;        {Indicates the actual size of the column was updated}
    LastWidth: Integer;      {Width indicates the final text of a record of a row column}
    CurrWidth: Integer;      {Indicates the current size and column width}
    Reverter: Integer;       {Indicates the greatest width recorded but that is less than the current}
    Scrolls: Integer;        {Indicates the amount of scrolls present after one width adjustment}
    RecNo: Integer;          {Indicates which was the record in the table which increased the width of colune}
  end;

var { inside the forms private }
  gdCols: array of TColumnAutoAdjust; { vetor de ajuste de largura de cada coluna na grade de resultado }
  RegisteredCols: Integer; { quantas colunas já foram registradas no controle de ajuste }
  gdVisibleRows: Integer; { quantas linhas de cadastros estão visíveis da grade de resultado }
  gdVisibleCols: Integer; { quantas colunas de cadastros estão visíveis da grade de resultado }

{ before showing the grid }  
    RegisteredCols := ResultGrid.Columns.Count;
    SetLength(gdCols, RegisteredCols); { determina o tamanho da vetor de controle de colunas }
    { libera a lista }
    ResultGrid.Align := alClient;
    for i := 0 to RegisteredCols -1 do { inicializando a largura das colunas no tamanho do título de cada }
    begin
      gdCols[i].Field := ResultGrid.Columns[i].FieldName;
      ResultGrid.Columns[i].Width := ResultGrid.Canvas.TextExtent(ResultGrid.Columns[i].Title.Caption).cx;
      ResultGrid.Columns[i].Alignment := taLeftJustify;
      ResultGrid.Columns[i].Title.Alignment := taLeftJustify;
    end;
    BrowserQuery.Open;
    ResultGrid.Show;
    for i := 0 to gdVisibleRows do
    begin
      BrowserQuery.Next;
      ResultGrid.Refresh;
    end;
    for i := 0 to gdVisibleRows do
    begin
      BrowserQuery.Prior;
      ResultGrid.Refresh;
    end;
    BrowserQuery.First;
    ResultGrid.SetFocus;
  end

{ after dataset scroll}      
procedure TRecordsBrowserFrameBase.BrowserQueryAfterScroll(DataSet: TDataSet);
var
  i, TitleWidth: Integer;
  mayAdjustAgain: Boolean; {  }
begin
{ ajusta as colunas da grade de resultado a cada movimento da tabela de resultado }
  mayAdjustAgain := False;
  for i := 0 to RegisteredCols -1 do
  begin
    if not gdCols[i].Updated then
    begin
      ResultGrid.Columns[i].Width := gdCols[i].CurrWidth;
      gdCols[i].Scrolls := 0;
      gdCols[i].Updated := True;
    end
    else
    begin
      Inc(gdCols[i].Scrolls);
      if (DataSet.RecNo > gdCols[i].RecNo + gdVisibleRows) or (DataSet.RecNo < gdCols[i].RecNo - gdVisibleRows) then
      begin
        TitleWidth := MaxColSpacing + ResultGrid.Canvas.TextExtent(ResultGrid.Columns[i].Title.Caption).cx;
        gdCols[i].LastWidth := gdCols[i].CurrWidth;
        gdCols[i].CurrWidth := IFX(gdCols[i].Reverter > TitleWidth, gdCols[i].Reverter, TitleWidth);
        gdCols[i].Reverter := IFX(gdCols[i].Reverter > TitleWidth, TitleWidth, 0);
        gdCols[i].Updated := False;
        mayAdjustAgain := True;
      end;
    end;
  end;
  if mayAdjustAgain then
  begin
    ResultGrid.Refresh;
    BrowserQueryAfterScroll(DataSet);
  end;
end;
