🚀 go-pugleaf

would the OnDrawColumnCell event be any use?

>>I'm looking for a way to get the rowcount in a TDBGrid object. The data is
filled in dynamically, but then i need to determine programmically what the
rowsize is of each of the columns , so that i can make a looping construct

Unless I'm not understanding what you are trying to accomplish, you don't
actually want to iterate the TDBGrid. Instead, you want to iterate the
underlying dataset (the DBGrid is directly tied to the dataset).

 I think You can use RecordCount();
or use SQL Count(*) dynamically depends on what u are wirtting

Hi, Jeroen!

Please don't crosspost, since it makes it hard for people to followyup
on your question. I have set followup to database desktop, since this is
not a multi-tier issue. Multi-tier is specific to client-server and
beyond.

To iterate through the rows of a dataset, use

    Table1->First();

    while (!Table1->Eof)
    {
        // do something
        Table1->Next();
    };

If you know the name of a field, you can use
Table1->FieldByName("something")->AsString (for instance) to access it.

If you need to iterate through the fields by index, use the
Table1->Fields collection.

Hope this helps.
