I am using a SSDBGrid (Sheridan Grid) to display some columns and a couple of these columns are nested columns. I am achieving this by creating groups for each column and then creating a column or columns(as the case may be) under these groups. When I right-click on any of these columns, I want to get the Column Index. Right now I am using grid.colcontaining(X) in the mouse_down event of the grid. But this is returning the index of the group and not the columns(especially when it comes to the sub-columns/nested columns). Can somebody tell me how do I get the column index instead of the group index.

Can you drill down deeper with something like     I would put grid.colcontaining(X) into the watch window, and investigate all of the possibilities to see if you can reference the selected intem in the group.

Hi BrianWren,
Thanks 4 the reply.
I tried using the for loop in the mouse down event but get an error which says "Compile error:For Each may only iterate over a collection object or an array".

Could you please give me an idea as to how to create the subcolumns in a SSDBGrid. It is like lets say i have 3 main columns and for the second column I want 3 subcolumns.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I'm not familiar with this particular control. But your statement “But this is returning the index of the group” leads me to believe that you actually do have useful properties, but are just not referencing them effectively. That's where the watch window can be really helpful.

But beyond that, I'm just making WAGs...
