I have searched a database using a query.

The results of the search are displayed in a DBGrid component for the user to select the row s/he wishes to proceed with.

DBGrid always sets the record pointer to the first record in the results set, so a row is always "selected" by default. I need to change this behaviour to no row being selected when the data is first presented so that I can determine if the user has actually made a selection.

Is it possible to tell if no selection has been made, i.e. no row has been selected by the user?

Any help very much welcomed!

You can include dgMultiSelect into DBGrid.Options, then DBGrid.SelectedRows will contain list of explicitly selected record bookmarks. Without dgMultiSelect the DBGrid always track the current dataset record.

    Thanks for the reply - I solved it myself through further experimentation. – David Kinraid Sep 26 '10 at 19:40

    Downvoted because it's bad etiquette to abandon a post just because you found the answer elsewhere. If it was important enough to post a question, it should be important enough to share the answer. Someone else may be looking for a similar solution. Post your answer and I'll remove my downvote. – TheSteven Jan 21 '14 at 01:17
