Description

AlternateColor is a TColor property with the background color used for alternate rows on the grid control. Color is used as the background color for even-numbered rows. Having alternate rows in different colors can make the grid easier to read.

AlternateColor is initially set to the value for Color property in the constructor. Setting a new value for the property causes the grid control to be redrawn. AlternateColor is updated when a new value is assigned to the Color property; it assumes the old value in Color.

Color and AlternateColor are used in the PrepareCanvas method to set the Canvas brush color for cells which are not selected in a given row.
