delete a row in stringgrid

help me pls.

and also how to sort an specified field in a stringgrid

TheStringGrid.Rows.Delete(row_number);

For sorting, unless someone gives you a better solution, you'll have to implement some sorting algorithm over TheStringGrid.Rows and use the Exchange method of TheStringGrid.Rows for exchanging items during sort.

HELP ME

please how to DELETE a row in a stringgrid

=fva= you gave me a wrong answer
      your code was not recognized
      delphi ask for '[' in Rows
      and you given me this one.
      TheStringGrid.Rows.Delete(row_number);

? maybe you should explain more

Deeply sorry. My fault. I didn't test the code, just wrote it directly. I'll try to find something better.

F.

its ok

thank you so so much fva

Don't mention it. Delete the other question with the same title and having 50 pts hanging. You'll get back the points and probably fast since no one commented it yet. Thank you for accepting my comments.

BTW, you should have requested in Community Support for a point split on this one instead of giving me 100 and posting another 50 for Meikl.

Yours,
F.

an old trick you can use is the protected DeleteRow method

i know this is already answered but i had this on the clipboard so ... ;-)

unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
  Grids, StdCtrls;

type
 TDelGrid = Class( TStringGrid);
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    StringGrid1: TStringGrid;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  with TDelGrid(StringGrid1) do
   DeleteRow( Stringgrid1.Row );
end;

end.

Hi inthe,

Just curious (2 issues):
1. Am I missing something here? (I'm in a D3 shop)
Looks like you didn't expose DeleteRow in TDelGrid definition.
and
2. How did you get to comment a PAQ (haven't seen you on the comment list)? I guess you didn't buy it just for that.

Cheers,
F.
