Move to a Column

[wrov]

Hi everybody

Do you know how to go to a column in a DBGrid ?

If the cursor is in the column #1 and the user press the ENTER key: how to do for move the cursor to the column # 5?

Thanks in advance.

Walter.

Try this example out:

You should program the event "onKeyDown" of your DbGrid:

procedure TForm1.DBGrid1KeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;
Shift: TShiftState);
begin
if Key=vk_Return then
begin
with DbGrid1 do
begin
if SelectedField.FieldNo=1 then
SelectedField:=Fields[4];
end;
end;
end;

Hope this helps...

Do you wish to jump to field # 5 or to move one field to the right or left at a time?
Try this - press the tab key to move to right or shift + tab key to move to the left.

Alternatively,
drop a list box with values equal to the number of fields
then use the list box to set how many columns to jump at a time e.g
listbox1.selected will return a value.

dbgrid1.selectedField.FieldNo := listbox1.selected;
yomyom.

Or ;-)

On the OnKeyDown event of the DBGrid

if Key=VK_RETURN then begin
DBGrid1.SelectedField := Table1.FieldByName('FieldName');
end;
