bookmarks in grid component

[wimvanherp]

Hallo,

has anybody experience with bookmarks in the dbridcomponent. I want to navigate through the fields I have selected in a grid and I used the example of the helpfile but this is not correct and does not compile

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
if (DBGrid1->SelectedRows->Count > 0)
{
AnsiString s = "";
TDataSet *pDS = DBGrid1->DataSource->DataSet;
for (int i=0; i < DBGrid1->SelectedRows->Count; i++)
{
pDS->GotoBookmark((void *)DBGrid1->SelectedRows->Items);
for (int j = 0; j < pDS->FieldCount; j++)
{
if (j>0)
s = s+&quot;, &quot;;
s = s + pDS->Fields->Fields[j]->AsString;

}
ListBox1->Items->Add(s);
s = &quot;&quot;
}
}
}
this is the example of the helpfile but the line :
pDS->GotoBookmark((void *)DBGrid1->SelectedRows->Items)
always gives the error that it cannot cast a AnsiString to a void. So how do I use these bookmarks ?

A couple of notes; First, put your code between

 and

marks or turn the &quot;Process TGML&quot; checkbox off. The reason is that tells TGML to put everything in italics so the on Items disappears and everything from then on is italicized. See the &quot;Process TGML&quot; link below for more examples.

Second, pDS->GotoBookmark((void *)DBGrid1->SelectedRows->Items.c_str()); must have the .c_str(). I didn't see it in you example but it is in the help file's example. See if that helps. James P. Cottingham

Thanks a lot, now it works. You must have another helpfile (I use builder c++4) because in my help file it is wrong.

How life can be so nice when someone at the other side of the world (at least that's possible) takes care of your problems.
