Click on DBGrid to use that record...?

HELP HELP HELP

How can I use the specific record which has been selected by a click (on a row of the DBGrid) to use this record to add in a TMemo.

For example: I have a DBGrid on the form, and when I click on a specific row, the value of the field "NAME" must be added in the memobox which is located on that same form.

hi roosiedb,

try this in the onclick event of your dbgrid

memo1.lines.add(dbgrid1.datasource.dataset.FieldByName('Name').AsString);

Asem

.. or this, if you want the value of the cell, the user clicked at:

procedure TForm1.DBGrid1CellClick(Column: TColumn);
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add(Column.Field.AsString);
end;

What really happens when you click on a record in a DBGrid is your changing the current-record pointer to the selected record. Keeping that in mind, all you need to do is what kretzschmar and/or asem stated (which is the same) !
