StringGrid selections

[Blake Versiga]

How can I select or deselect a string in a string grid.

I have a need to select 1 word in a phrase or the
whole contents of a cell.

I know about SelText, SelStart, and SelLength but I can not find
and Object to apply them. The INPLACEEDITOR is available in
a TCustomGrid but I do not know how to access it from a
StringGrid Object.

As TStringGrid derives from TCustomGrid it also has the inplaceeditor,
however this is a protected field of that class, so you cannot access it
directly. But with the following hack you can:

type
THackGrid=class(TStringGrid)
end;

THackGrid(Stringgrid1).InplaceEditor.SelLength:=0;
