ListBox vs Stringrid

[Guest_imported]

Hi. I am quite new to this and need some help..
When using a TListBox or TCheckListBox one uses ItemIndex for the selected Item. What do you use when dealing with a TStringGrid, and how do you delete the selected string row??
Hope someone can help.

TStringGrids allow access to their individual cells through its Cells property. For example, suppose that you have a StringGrid with 4 rows and 5 columns. To access one of the grid's cells, you could do something like:

int Column = 3; Row = 2;
String WhatIsHere = StringGrid->Cells[Column][Row];

You also have ColCount which holds the number of columns in a grid, RowCount which holds the number of rows in a grid, Rows which returns all the objects in a row, Cols which returns all the objects in a column, and Objects which also accesses cells. To copy a TStringGrid row to a TListBox you could do something like

ListBox1->Items = StringGrid1->Rows[StringGrid1->Row]

. (This example is from my help file.)

AFAIK, to "delete" a row, you would have to copy all following rows up to the previous row and blank out the last row. James P. Cottingham

Thanx! well I guess it's easier to stick with the listbox then, and just write a stringpad function. It was beacause i could not get data to be in columns in a Listbox and thought a stringgrid could be an easy way out. Cheers.
