Hi again.
Recently I've played around the StringGrids and noticed one weird thing.
There are two quite similar properties:
AutoEdit
description: Whether the Edit mode is automatically entered when a cell
is selected
Options/goAlwaysShowEditor
description: Always show editor. If not set, the user has to enter the
edit mode by pressing >some character key or F2 key.
And here comes the question: what's the difference between them?
I've also noticed that goAlwaysShowEditor=True overrides behavior of
AutoEdit=False.
Anyway thanks.

Both options work only when goEditing option is true.
If the goAlwaysShowEditor option is true, yes, the editor will be always visible, if it is false, the editor is not always visible. You have may not noticed that the editor is visible, change the grid color to something different than the default, then it will be obvious.
If the editor is not always visible and you do a click in a cell that is not selected, the cell becomes focused. If you do a second click AND AutoEdit=true, then the editor becomes visible, I guess is called AutoEdit because you don't have to use the keyboard in order to show the editor. In other words, the AutoEdit works with mouse clicks, it seems from the description that you quoted that the description needs an update.

Hello,
The goAlwaysShowEditor shows the editor but I think in read only mode, you can not edit, or should not be able to.

"About necessity of AutoEdit property in presence of goAlwaysShowEditor" .... , There is no such necessity, why do you think that there is a necessity?. Obviously AutoEdit only works when goAlwaysShowEditor=false as I tried to explain in my previous reply, if AutoEdit has any effect when goAlwaysShowEditor is true, then you have found a bug.
