DBGrid get selected cell

Question

i need to get the value of the selected cell of a DBGrid in Delphi

(i have no idea how to do it, i tryed dbGrid's OnMouseMove pt : TGridCoord; ... pt:=dbGrid.MouseCoord(x, y); )

[Edited] I can use the OnCellClick to get the value of the cell with "Column.Field.AsString", but i want to get the value from the first column when i click on any column of that row

Answer 1

found it

dbGrid.Fields[0].AsString is gets the value of the first column of the selected row

Answer 2

A DB grid has no focus, and therefore you cannot find out which row is seleted. Instead look at the linked dataset. A dataset has an active row.

Answer 3

i think the easiest way is to connect a hidden DBText to your dataset then set the DBText to display which field you need, this way that DBText will always contain the needed value of the active record
