emulate a cell click

[mtdew3q]

Hi- ver .98 win tdbf
for this property i got some code off the internet for use with delphi.
property SelectedIndex: Integer; [rw]


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
   Var
  Column:TColumn;
begin
dbGridIncome.SelectedIndex:=1;
dbGridIncome.SetFocus;
dbGridIncome.OnCellClick(Column)
end;

this property seems to be public and a descendant of tdbgrid so it should be available right...unless i am not setting it correctly (probably the case)

i'd kind of like to get a programmable cell click working because
on arrival at the grid i'd like to have col 0 ready to edit without
clicking.

i just learned tonight that it is better to use the reference in the wiki then figure out what is and isnt available on code complete for now.

this isnt a huge deal but if you know right off i'd apreciate the tip.

thanks,
jim

SelectedIndex was implemented a week ago, you will need a recent Lazarus version.

I just made stringgrid and dbgrid property EditorMode public so you could do something like:

Code: [Select]


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  dbGridIncome.SelectedIndex:=1;
  dbGridIncome.EditorMode := true;
end;

That should have the effect of clicking the second field in the current selected record to start editing.

thanks jesusr,

i am having lots of fun with lazarus.  it is really impressive.
later,
