Hi Denis,

Whatever you're doing, it must be different from what I'm doing.

The nActiveRow is not as silly as it may seem. In the setfocus method This.AddPropery('nActiveRow',This.ActiveRow) is executed, so, when out of focus, it'll remember the active row.

Still, since it doesn't work it doesn't do much good.


>Hi again,
>I just did example with your code. ActiveRow is not 0 if in cmdDelete.Click() you do set focus on grid. In second example with TRY/CATCH you wrote wrong property name _grid1.nActiveRow. (must be ActiveRow). Well.. no problem on my machine with your code. Maybe you realy somewhere close cursor? no ideas
