I was wondering how to go about colouring a single row of a string grid so
that the font is a different colour. Using the OnDrawCell event works but
causes a horrible flicker, is there another approach I can take?

I basically have a job queue as a table, and two or more processes read the

You thought testing for windows is bad, the real internet world IS worse,
