Many thanks. That works just fine except for the StringGrid1.SetFocus. That actually removes the focus from the inplace editor.<br />

Strange, must be becuase I was using a TButton to trigger the code, which of coarse gives the button focus when the code runs. &nbsp;Keep in mind though that although the code executes very quickly there may be a small window in which another application does something with the clipboard to mess things up, but I can't think of a better way, should be fine..<br />

When you activate the inplace text editor for a string grid you are able to do use the mouse to highlight all or part of the character string. I want to be able to retrieve just the highlighted portion of the inplace editor text &nbsp;string.
