How to find row/col of HFlexgrid when Right Clicking

[olichap]

I want to add a popup menu to an HFlexgrid that effectively allows the user to right click, copy one field's data, the right click again on a different cell and paste.

The problem is that the Click event on the HFlexgrid does not seem to recognize the Col/Row upon which I've clicked when using the Right mouse-button. The MouseUp event occurs before the Click event. Whether I have code in the MouseUp event or not, just Right clicking on a new field with a breakpoint on the Click event shows that the grd.col, grd.row properties do not seem to be set when using the right button.

Any ideas on how I can set this information and bring up my popup menu properly?

Thanks,

Oliver

Use the MouseRow and MouseCol properties in the MouseUp or MouseDown Events.

Excellent,

Thanks a lot for the answer and the timeliness of response.

As a follow-up question, if the user clicks on a field/cell header (fixed row 0) I want to reorder my data accordingly.

When I click on row 0 (my fixed row) the grd.row property returns 1. How can I tell when the user clicks on row 0, thus allowing me to control the sort order?

Thanks,

Oliver

Do not look at the .Row property. That is the "selected" row, which I presume it "falls" to when you "select" .Row=0. What is the .MouseRow property on the click?

MouseRow is returning very strange numbers. For instance, if I click on col 6 of fixed row (0) MouseRow returns 10.

Any ideas?

Well, I feel like an idiot. Here I am setting my breakpoint on the click event, then using the immediate window to check the mouserow property. Only I forgot that that property changes as soon as I move the mouse to click on the immediate window.

Sorry, just a little bone-headed today.

I'll assume by that, that the solution is "at hand" after you use it (your hand) to get your "bone" head out of the way.
