StringGrid - How to force a selection of a specific cell

[maKiaveL]

How can I force a selection of a specific cell in StringGrid?
For instance, when I run a search I want the first cell to be already selected without having to click.

Thank you very much

This?

Code: [Select]

StringGrid1.Row:=20;
StringGrid1.Col:=5;
StringGrid1.SetFocus;

No, because that only "set focus" on the cell, doesnt actually select it, since it does not what it's in the OnSelectCell event...

You can run OnSelectCell manualy

Code: [Select]

StringGrid1.Row:=20;
StringGrid1.Col:=5;
StringGrid1SelectCell(self,20,5,cansel);
StringGrid1.SetFocus;

What is StringGrid1SelectCell(self,20,5,cansel); ?
I tried StringGrid1.SelectCell but there is no SelectCell property.

What is StringGrid1SelectCell(self,20,5,cansel); ?

The user-provided handler for the OnSelectCell event of the grid.

I did:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TfrmMain.sgFavouritesSelectCell(Sender: TObject; aCol, aRow: Integer; var CanSelect: Boolean);
2. begin
3.  
4. end;
5.  
6. procedure TfrmMain.popmFavChangeContentClick(Sender: TObject);
7. var
8.   dummy : Boolean;
9. begin
10.   sgFavourites.Options := sgFavourites.Options + [goEditing];
11.   sgFavourites.Col := 1;
12.   sgFavourites.Row := 11;
13.   sgFavourites.OnSelectCell(sgFavourites,1,11,dummy);
14.   sgFavourites.SetFocus;
15. end;  

I do not see sgFavourites.OnSelectCell(sgFavourites,1,11,dummy); doing anything.
What I need is to set cell [1,11] in editing mode (to start editing it - the cursor is shown, just like as I have clicked on it). Any idea how to do it?

This seems enough for me:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     sgFavourites.ColRow := Point(1, 11);
2.     sgFavourites.SetFocus;
3.     sgFavourites.EditorMode:=true;

You only need sgFavourites.Options := sgFavourites.Options + [goEditing]; if you previously disabled it for some other reason.
You may also want to call sgFavourites.ClearSelections; to tidy the screen.
If you use option goAlwaysShowEditor you don't even need to toggle EditorMode, but there are downsides of course.
AFAICT you shouldn't invoke OnSelectCell. It's already triggered even if the selection is changed non-interactively.

PS. Sorry for the previous unthoughtful reply

I tried it, it seems to do exactly what I want (still I have not tried it in the real app).

Edit: It works in the real app, too.
