OMG.
Does anyone know how to get the column clicked on a datagrid?  SelectedIndex 
gives me the row, but I need the column.

Each column contains a PDF filename and I need to fetch that file when they 
click.

TIA.

Hi Scott,

I would turn the column into a hyperlink column, using the URL field to
pass on the information you want, and in the URL formatting string use
that information (so a click would result in a link to a page with the
URL field's information).

See http://www.bitwisemag.com/copy/delphi/swart/blog2b.html for an
example where I use the HyperLink column to pass an ECO ExternalId field
to another ASP.NET page (so it starts with that Id). The same way, you
can pass your PDF filename.
