Addressing a TableGrid

Greetings,

I have a TableGrid on a form and I would like to grab the value of the first field in the first row... what is the proper
reference to grab that value?

Col1,  Col2,   Col3
xxx      yyy        zzz

I want to access  the "xxx", can someone please give me a example syntax.

Regards,
Keith

Brian,

Thanx for the reply !!

I am using ver 6.5

ShowMessage(frmLstClients.TableGrid1.Cell[0.0]);  // this gives me: Not enough actual parameters

ShowMessage(frmLstClients.TableGrid1.Cells[0.0]); ;; gives me:  the same error

if frmLstClients.tablegrid1.cell[0.0].AsString = ' Add A New Client'  then frmAddNewClient.show;

as does the above in the way I was originally trying to use it, whereas

if frmLstClients.tablegrid1.cells[0.0].AsString = ' Add A New Client'  then frmAddNewClient.show;
// says Strings do not have properties or methods

any ideas?

Thanx,
Keith

if Form1.TableGrid1.RowCount > 0 then begin
    //ShowMessage(Form1.TableGrid1.Cell[0,0].AsString);
    //ShowMessage(Form1.TableGrid1.Cell[0,0].AsFloat);
    //ShowMessage(Form1.TableGrid1.Cell[0,0].AsInteger);
    //ShowMessage(Form1.TableGrid1.Cell[0,0].AsDateTime); 
    ShowMessage(Form1.TableGrid1.Cells[0,0]); // string
end; 

try this one.

ShowMessage(Form1.TableGrid1.Cells[Form1.TableGrid1.SelectedRow,0]); // string

You can access the properties, functions etc by just typing the Grid, followed by dot(.)

Form1.TableGrid1.

then, Hit Ctrl+Spacebar. this will list down properties, functions, etc
