How to retreive the information from a TDBGrid when you click a cell or row

Answer:

While you click a TDBGrid row, the information can be obtained by the following procedure:

DBAccounts is a TDBGrid
For this example e_F0..e_F2 are TEdit but it can be any object
You can use FieldCount to obtain the number of fields so you can fill an array like

for x = 0 to DBAccounts.FieldCount - 1 do
  AnyArray[x] := DBAccounts.Fields[x].DisplayText

For this Example, Set TDBGrid.Options[dgRowSelect] so when you click a cell the row will be selected. Trim Function removes spaces (OPTIONAL)

procedure TForm4.DBAccountsCellClick(Column: TColumn);
begin
  with DBAccounts.SelectedField do
  begin
    e_F0.Text := Trim(DBAccounts.Fields[0].DisplayText);
    e_F1.Text := Trim(DBAccounts.Fields[1].DisplayText);
    e_F2.Text := Trim(DBAccounts.Fields[2].DisplayText);
    // and so on ....
    //.
    //.
    //.
  end;
end;
