[jamesd0142]

Hi i have a datagird view on my form which pulls rows from my database.
When i selected a cell how can i get the length of the string in the cell/

Selected cell contains 'james' i wud require a return of '5'

OR

how do i get the value of the selected cell?
)i can then store this in a variable and get the length of that)


i want the length of the string 'Ask some1'

Len(string)

i.e.

Len("james") would be 5.

Len(string)

Len("james") would be 5.

this is 1 step to far for me :P SORRY...

I need to get the value stored in the selected cell first so i can get its length.

cheers

This works if any wants to know...


MsgBox(dgvAnswer.CurrentCell.Value)

MsgBox(dgvAnswer.CurrentCell.Value)

Great!, i think you're done. To have a msgbox with the length use
msgbox (len(dgvanswer.currentcell.value))
