Hi, my code updates the contents of various AdvStringGrids programmatically. Is there any way that my code can check whether the contents of a grid have been changed? I want to have a 'Save' button on my app which is only enabled if the contents of a grid have changed. (I thought that I could use the 'Modified' boolean but that only seems to be set if a value is changed through the user interface.
Many thanks, Andrew

It is by design that programmatic changes to grid cell data is not affecting the Modified property.
If code changes a value, your code knows and there is no need for a detour via a property or event.
With this design, you can also easily track the difference between programmatic changes & UI invoked changes in your application.
Hi Bruno, thanks for your reply. Our application has several hundred lines of code that programmatically update string grids, and it will be quite a lot of effort to update it for each of these. I was hoping there would be an alternative way of detecting whether the contents of a grid had been changed. Can you think of a solution to this problem?
Thanks, Andrew
You could make a wrapper method for setting grid cells where you manage your modified flag from this wrapper method
