Grid Single Click

Hi Frank,
It can be done with a line of script (please see attached).
However, you then have to address the issue of how you want to handle deletions - normally, you (single) click on a row in the tablegrid to give that row focus, and then you click 'delete'.............however, your 'single click' is now taking the user to edit that row!  (there are ways around it but they involve a bit more script).
If you need any further help, just shout.
Derek.

Hi Again Frank,
I think I was having a 'senior moment' (again!).
The obvious way to get around the deletion problem (without script) is to tick 'allowdelete' in the 'editable' properties of the tablegrid (see screenshot) and remove the 'delete' button (to avoid any confusion).
Now if you want to edit a record, you can single click on it and if you want to delete a record, you can single right click on it.   
Sorry about that.
Derek.

Getting old isn't for the faint-hearted - LOL!!
I think I went through the same 'hoop' quite a while ago trying to use single click everywhere but it ended up causing more problems than it was solving (you can't easily sort columns by clicking on the column header as it interprets that as wanting to edit a record etc etc).
So in the end, I just went with the double click - still, it was a good learning exercise along the way.
Derek.

ehw,

Thanks for the tip about the OnCellClick event.  I tried it and it does work as you say.

There's a couple of issues I've noticed.
1st - when I single click on a record in my table, the Windows Hour Glass appears and kinda jumps around for a second or two before it goes to my next form.  It doesn't prevent it from working but it just looks strange.  It sort of looks to me like it is doing some extra processing before it opens up the next form.  On my other Table Grids, when I Double-Click it goes directly to the next form without any hourglass.
UPDATE I took out the single click and the hourglass still appears.  Maybe it's been doing it all along and I never noticed it before.  However it seems to do it only on the FIRST form.  I don't see it on the other table grids. Maybe the aliens are back
-
2nd - I do have a Delete button on my first form, however I can't use it without a record highlighted. And when I highlight a record it goes to the next form as it should per the OnCellClick.  However when I go back to the first form that record I selected is still highlighted.  So now I'm able to use the Delete button and the arrow keys. 
-
This is probably what you referred to when you said more scripting would be required for the delete function?
-
Since my Double-Click is working OK throughout my project, I'm inclined at this time to stay with it.  However I'm always open to suggestions.  And these suggestions from yourself and others have shown me things that I probably wouldn't have figured out by myself.
-
I realized at the beginning of my journey that I should learn Pascal in order to open up the full power of MVD.  I plan to do so as soon as I finish this project.
-
I've been really impressed with what I've been able to do with a minimal of scripting and the help from folks on the forum.  The power of MVD is impressive.

Thanks, Frank

Destiny,
What do you mean by "it blocks the Edit function"?

If you are looking to execute the edit on a single click, you can put into the script to click on the EDIT button in the OnCellClick event of the tablegrid.

procedure Form1_TableGrid1_OnCellClick (Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer);
begin
     Form1.btnEdit.click;
end;

Did you apply the script I provided in my previous post?

procedure Form1_TableGrid1_OnCellClick (Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer);
begin
     Form1.btnEdit.click;
end;

Maybe you should attach your project so we can take a look at what you are referencing.

Here is my project, you will see that there is no way to modify the data by clicking on "Edit" because the chosen row is deselected and I cannot delete it either.

ReHello Destiny

I am correcting my previous post
It is not the button 2 that you have to delete.
Delete the procedure TimbredeFrance_TableGrid1_OnClick (Sender: TObject);
It is this which deactivates the selection of the line to display in your form.
Button 2 is useful since it opens the file storing your stamp images

Je corrige mon post précédent
Ce n'est pas le button 2 que tu dois supprimer.
Supprime la procedure TimbredeFrance_TableGrid1_OnClick (Sender: TObject); (ou désactive la par la paire {..} ou une série de // en tête des lignes)
C'est elle qui désactive la sélection de la ligne à afficher dans ton formulaire.
Bouton 2 a son utilité puisque qu'il ouvre le fichier stockant tes images de timbres

Hello Destiny

With MVD (version 6.6) I created my own application to manage my stamps (Only French stamps)
You will find in PJ the grid listing all stamps.
