DBGrid Index

[rhysmeister]

I can use SelectedIndex to return the selected column index value in a DBGrid. Is there a similar function which will return the row index value?

yes, property SelectedRows.

ParamByName('SelectedParam').AsInteger := DBGrid1.SelectedRows.Count + 1;

Always returns '1' for some reason.

what is it you are trying to do? If it's a dbgrid there's a datasource behind it. Whatever record you have selected in the dbgrid you have also selected in the datasource. You should know the name of the field that fills that cell in the grid so you can just do:

ParamByName('SelectedParam').AsInteger := datasourceOfDbGrid.FieldByName('SomeField').Asinteger

OK, from a DBGrid the user clicks on a column and the ID from that record row is put into a SQL query and another form appears with just that records details on it. All this work fine except the correct ID field value is not selected.

did the example I show above not do that? It should have. What is the source of the DBGrid?

SelectedRows determine the number of rows in the grid that are selected (property MultiSelect in Options of DBGrid).

I use InfoPower dbgrid. It has property: GetActiveRow that return a 0 based row number of selected row in dbgrid.

This code did the trick. I probably wasn't clear enough in my explaining. Thanks.

ParamByName('SelectedParam').AsString := DBGrid1.SelectedField.AsString;
