how to copy selected data from stringgrid

Question

i couldn't find the way to copy selected cell data from a stringgrid, i want the selected data string to be copied to Edit box if possible.. many thanks in advance. im using delphi xe8, firemonkey.

what i tried so far..

Private
A : Array of TValue;
procedure TForm1.Grid1GetValue(Sender: TObject; const Col, Row: Integer; var        Value: TValue);
 begin
// Gets the value from a cell in the first column
if Col = 0 then
 Value := A[Row];

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
A[1] := Edit1.Text;
end;

Can you show us what you have tried? Surely all you need to do is read text from the grid, and write text to the edit. Which part of this are you stuck with? — David Heffernan, Aug 22 '15 at 17:16
i couldn't do anything, all codes are related to VCL !, im stuck with the codes and the copy process @David Heffernan — markkk, Aug 22 '15 at 17:22
First of all, do you know how you set the text of an edit control? Did you look in the documentation? — David Heffernan, Aug 22 '15 at 17:24
well, im still a beginner, what documentation?there is nothing at docwiki about stringgrids!@David Heffernan — markkk, Aug 22 '15 at 17:28
There certainly is documentation for these controls. Search for docwiki fmx TStringGrid delphi. — David Heffernan, Aug 22 '15 at 17:40
If you want to use Firemonkey, you should seriously consider upgrading to one of the later versions, such as XE8. XE2 was the very first version introducing Firemonkey, and it was extremely primitive back then. — Jerry Dodge, Aug 22 '15 at 17:57
@markkk Oh, I saw the `delphi-xe2` tag, which appears to be corrected now. — Jerry Dodge, Aug 22 '15 at 18:20
I've tried something, can u insight me plz now.@David Heffernan — markkk, Aug 22 '15 at 18:38
Your code makes no sense to me. We don't know what `A` is. I recommend that you read the documentation. Slow down, step back, and try harder. — David Heffernan, Aug 22 '15 at 19:10
A:Array of TValue, i really dont have time to study this component, any help will be appreciated. @David Heffernan — markkk, Aug 22 '15 at 19:32
If you can't find the time to present enough code for us to debug for you, then why should we take the time to guess what *might* be wrong in the rest of the code which we cannot see? Your code is incomplete and uncompilable. — Jerry Dodge, Aug 22 '15 at 19:59
there is nothing special, just a stringgrid with 2 columns filled with string !!. i want to select a cell from col2 and copy its data to Edit box, @Jerry Dodge — markkk, Aug 22 '15 at 21:50

Procedure Formx.StringGrid1SellectCell(Sender: TObject; const ACol,Arow: integer;   var CanSellect: Boolean);
Var
Val: string;
begin
Val := StringGrid1.Cells[ACol, ARow];

That code does not compile. If you'd only read the documentation.... That said, in your defence, they official code example is bizarre. I guess that put you on the wrong track. – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 14:21
it works for me like charm,, u could've wrote the code under 20 sec insted of wasting 8h of my time, anyway,thanks@David Heffernan – markkk Aug 23 '15 at 18:14
The code does not compile. Your sense of entitlement is a sign of weakness. We aren't here to write your code for you. We like to teach. You are not interested in learning. – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 18:33
easy son, the code dose Compile, I've tested it!!, if u don't want to write a single line of code there is trustworthy ppl ready to do it ! @David Heffernan – markkk Aug 23 '15 at 18:50
Your code compiles. The code in the answer does not. – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 18:53
YES it dose. try it @David Heffernan – markkk Aug 23 '15 at 18:56
The code in the answer does not compile. `Celles`? What you need to learn is how to research for yourself, and also that this site is not a place where people write your code for you. We like to help people that are keen to learn. – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 18:58
i get it, because of [,] instead of [.]. u kidding me!, don't start to lecturer me plz, im probably way older than u,however. many thanks kid @David Heffernan – markkk Aug 23 '15 at 19:04
No. There's no member of the class named `Celles`. Where does age come into it? It doesn't matter how old you are. – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 19:05
So, there is a lesson to be learnt here. Do you want to hear it? – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 19:11
hahaha, i didnt copy and past it, i WROTE it, that's why,@David Heffernan – markkk Aug 23 '15 at 19:13
So, would you like to hear the lesson, or not? – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 19:16
Well, if you don't want to learn, you are in the wrong place. – David Heffernan Aug 23 '15 at 19:21
