That is what I also expected...

Well, I have a special grid mediator that must redraw a TCustomDrawGrid 
cell, but I don't want it to do this unless it is absolutely necessary. 
So I tell the grid to invalidate the cell and have it figure out whether
the repaint is needed or not. (and in doing so, it calculates all needed
parameters such as the cell rectangle and so on)

For a stringgrid, setting the cell text will do whatever is needed, but
that doesn't work in a TCustomDrawGrid.

But somehow the InvalidateCell doesn't show up in the code completion.
I just get "Invalidate", which I found strange, and so I asked the 
question. I'll investigate this. 

Thanks to everyone for the answers.

Michael.
