How to develop and deploy with ListMagic within the GLX application framework?

[Peter Haworth]

No problem Keith.  Also saw your other post about a button in the datagrid. Once again, it might be worth considering a combination of the dghilitedline and one button outside the datagrid that would launch your processing of the currently selected datagrid row.  I have some code I use that floats a button next to whatever row the user clicks on so it's right next to their selected line, but a static button works too..

Hope that helps.

If you just want to carry out some processing on the data in the selected row, you can use the dghilitedline property of the datagrid to find out which row the user has clicked on and take whatever action you want.  Make sure the multiple lines property  for the datagrid is not selected and use the selectionChanged event to check the dghilitedline.  If there are multiple things you might want to do with the selected row, use a popup menu activated by a right click (more complicated).
