DataGrid question...

[Pi Digital]

Hmm, but if you look back to Curry’s last post he claims regarding table fields, not data grids :

>> Working out which cell has been clicked: Sorry, that's not accurate either. Yes, we do have that! Also for a long time.

Curry is a very reliable and valued source of LC knowledge. So, have we all missed a clever and simple, non convoluted method of telling which cell in a scrollable, non editable table field has been clicked? Even if that cell is empty. Something as simple as:

put the dgIndex of the target into theIndexThatWasClickedOn
?
