How do I tell which grid cell is active when a button is pressed?

[kazl]

Hi there Tek-Tips people - a question for you please:

I have a grid and a toolbar with a button "Copy to All".
I want the Copy to All button to take the value of the selected cell in the grid and copy it to the same field in every other record shown, to save retyping.

I have completed this the long way round, using the gotfocus events to store each field name as it's selected. But I will need to do this again elsewhere. Is there a simple way to tell what the active cell was when the toolbar button is pressed?

TIA.

Kaz

Kaz,

Use the grid's ActiveColumn property to find which column contains the active cell. Then look in the corresponding field of the current record in the table that is bound to the grid. That will give you the value you want.
