Question:
How do I know what is being typed into the grid?
Answer:
You can see what is being typed into a TDBGrid by looking at
the TInPlaceEdit control of the TDBGrid. Care should be taken
to make sure that the TInPlaceEdit control is created before
trying to use it. The following function will show the data in
the column of the grid that is being edited:
procedure TForm1.DBGrid1KeyUp(Sender: TObject;
var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
var
B: byte;
begin
for B := 0 to DBGrid1.ControlCount — 1 do
if DBGrid1.Controls[B] is TInPlaceEdit then
begin
with DBGrid1.Controls[B] as TInPlaceEdit do
begin
Label1.Caption := 'Text = ' + Text;
end;
end;
end;
Please reference TInPlaceEdit in the Delphi 3 help file for
more information on it's functionality.
