Firstly implement ownerdraw by coding to paint the display in the
OnDrawCell event handler. You can then use the DrawText() API to draw
multiline rows in the stringgrid within the cell rectangle.

Secondly when you double-click in the cell, create a TMemo instance and
position it over the cell which has been clicked on, and load it from
the cell. When the editing entry is finished the load the text back
from the TMemo to the TStringGrid and free the TMemo.
