Delphi XE2 Firemonkey - Setting the grid display colour and alignment

I am struggling to assign a style to a TGrid within Delphi Firemonkey. Styling required is quite basic (ie. Align the text in a column and colour per value).

For background, I have created a TGrid, set the rows (eg 200), and added the number of columns (3 in this case). The columns have been labeled as "Code", "Company" and "Balance". As the grid does not contain values (like a TStringGrid), I am able to set the display value via the "GetValue" method (where I retrieve data from an external source). - The result is a list that is fast, and able to cope with a lot of data, the downside is I can not format the design at run time...

I am thinking that I may have to use "Styles"; that are new in FM. If this is the case however, I am not sure how I can reference the cell as it does not really exist as it is painted via the GetValue method when it needs to be drawn?

Any help appreciated, Regards Ian.

Ray Konopka's blog might help you here:

You can apply a style to a Column by creating the OnApplyStyleLookup event to the column, but to set the font style and color etc you would still need to implement a OnApplyStyleLookup for the TTextCell's themselves too.
