I'm a newbie when it comes to creating new events to components... and I noticed that TDBGrid
has a OnCellClick
, but sadly it doesnt have an OnCellDblClick event and it bothers me a lot the fact that if I double click anywhere in my grid the selected row will be used...
So, I wanted to create the OnCellDblClick event, but as I've said earlier, I don't know how to do it.
I noticed that a lot of people want this same event, but I can't find the answerd to it.
Is it possible to know if the double click was on a record, if it was, then do all the stuff I want with it?
Maybe you can use the DblClick
together with the MouseDown
event of the DBGrid
But this will only work if the Options.dgRowSelect
is false
for example
type TForm1 = class(TForm) private FEmptySpace : boolean; ... procedure TForm1.DBGrid1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer); begin // in my test I only get here when clicked on empty part of the dbgrid FEmptySpace := TRUE; end; procedure TForm1.DBGrid1DblClick(Sender: TObject); begin if FEmptySpace then showmessage('clicked in the middle of nowhere...') else showmessage(DBGrid1.Fields[DBGrid1.SelectedField.Index].AsString); FEmptySpace := FALSE; end;
I have not tested this in all situations
In my test
Options.Editing := false
Options.dgRowSelect := false
Readonly := true
