StringGrid Questions

[JLWest]

I have 2 TSringGrids on a form with loaded data.

I would like to click on a row in a grid in using code.
I know the row and column. If I click on the column with the mouse it loads a second grid on the form with data. Can I do this all in code?

Thanks.

Write an OnSelectCell event hander in the first grid to do whatever you need to the second grid.

i can see where the right grid would be loaded with the proper file but what about the left grid.

Don't I have to click a row on the left Grid to get the onSelectEvent to fire?
Thanks

You are expressing yourself a little bit... unclear.
Please write down exactly how you wish that things shall happen.
Like "Click in Grid1 shall start action for Grid2", then we are what dsiders suggested, in an OnClick event.
Best would be to have a small demo app from you that helping people can just integrate things you are missing.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TForm1.grid1SelectCell(Sender: TObject; aCol, aRow: Integer;
2.   var CanSelect: Boolean);

You can call  it as you wish

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var select:boolean
2. begin
3.   grid1SelectCell(grid1,3,4,select)
4. end;
5.

Hi All and a Happy new Year to all.

I think ByteBites may have got it.

Two Grids on a form. if I click a row on Grid1 a file will load in Grid2. If I then click a row in Grid2 it will display something a memo. Grid1, Grid2 and the memo are all unique and connected.
However, I don't want to do it with a mouse click but by executing code.

So Stringgrid1SelectCell(StringGrid1,1,4,select)

write an OnSelectCell event hander to click StringGrid2

@Kodezwerg If I can't make this work I'll write a demo

Perhasps you're looking for something like the attached project?

I just compiled and ran. I think so.

It's really navigating around grids via code with two grids connected. And I think that's what you're code performs.
