Clearing TStringGrid automatic highlighting - how to do?

[CHeighlund]

I've been using some TStringGrid components in a project, and I'm running across something.

Whenever I click on a non-fixed cell in the grid, whatever cell was last clicked on (or the upperleft-most non-fixed cell if I'v just clicked on the grid for the first time) gets a sort of blue highlighting over it. This doesn't change the actual data in the grid, nor does it seem to have any adverse effects on my program, but my boss doesn't like it, as it gives a misleading impression as to what cell has just been clicked on.

Does anyone know of a way to prevent this 'highlighting' effect from occuring?

I think the only way you can do it (without creating another control) is set the DefaultDrawing property to false. Which means you must monitor the grid and toggle this property depending on the state of the grid.
