Finding underlying data object in GridGroupingControl from current row

[Administrator]

I have a GridGroupingControl that is bound to an ArrayList. The records are formatted into two rows ie: gridColumnSetDescriptor1.ColumnSpans.AddRange(new GridColumnSpanDescriptor[] {..."R0C0:R1C0"...etc)

I then attached to:
this.previewGrid.TableControlCurrentCellActivated += new GridTableControlEventHandler(preview_TCCCA); t

Inside the event handler I munge the RowIndex for the current cell to figure out the index into the arraylist, ie the ceiling of (RowIndex-2)/2.

My question is: Is there a better way to do this? it seems like a rather convoluted and obtuse way to determine the underlying object for the currently selected record. The documentation is rather sparse in this area, I''m using 3.2.1.0

I forgot to mention, the second the grid gets sorted this doesn''t work anymore since the row index no longer has any correlation to the position in the underlying ArrayList

Also my equation was a little off, its:
int index = (int)Math.Floor((previewGrid.TableControl.CurrentCell.RowIndex-3)/2);

Hi Mathew, The underlying data object from current record can be retrieved with the help of record.GetData() method. Please refer to the attached sample for more details. Regards, Calvin.

That works a lot better! Thanks
