Hi Joe,

The dgHilitedLines property of a Data Grid goes automatically to the
first line you pass as parameter. If necessary it scrolls the vertical
scrollbar to reach the line.

Usage:

set the dgHilitedLine of myDataGrid to pTheLine

where pTheLine is the line to select.

All you have to do here, is pass to this property the number of the
line to display.

With the Data Grid you can use the FindLine for exact match searching:

However, for partial matches you have to write your own handler.

Have a look to the search topic of the library I prepare for the Data Grid:
go to url "http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc/demo/DG_Lib_Demo-Dictionary.rev"

It could inspire you some ideas.


Regards,
