How to skip column in dbgrid
« on: July 08, 2020, 07:19:29 pm »
Hello,

How can I skip a column using dbgrid ?

I tried to use dbgrid, tkdbgrid and rxdbgrid, no samples on how to skip a cell or column.

Also having problems with formating when editing a cell for examples I need this format 9-999-999, I did asign to displayformat 9-999-999.

TIA
Ramiro

Using Lazarus 2.04

Skip in which way? Hiding the column? Or skip it when you press the arrow or tab key?

The key method in the LCL grids to prevent selecting a cell is the function SelectCell(ACol, ARow) which must return false for this case. Unfortunately it is a bit awkward to access it from TDBGrid - see attached demo. Maybe there is an easier way, but this one came to my mind first.

Hello again,

I tried your sample grid and in part it covers the column I want to skip in my project.

I have 7 columns, column 3 is coverd by your sample project but in column 6 and 7 the difference to column 3 is that if column 6 haves a value than column 7 should be skip and go to next row, if you want to edit column 7 then column 6 should have 0 or no value.

How can I do this ?

I come from using as my grid DevExpress and all of this column options are in the properties or events so I think I got a litle rusty on doing it may self.  ;)

TIA
Ramiro
