Hello!
I have designed a dialog that shows a wx.Grid with some data (full code at the end). Then, there is a search area. The other buttons are not working now. When you fill any search control with some data shown on the grid, it prints the index where the data is to the console. I would like it to set the cursor focus to the corresponding index. The corresponding code for the search function is

def OnSearch(self, event):
		CommonName = self.CommonNameTXT.GetValue()
		if CommonName != '':
			self.ind = self.EnglishNameList.index(CommonName)
			print self.ind
			self.SpeciesGrid.SetGridCursor(self.ind, -1)
		Genus = self.GenusTXT.GetValue()
		if Genus != '':
			ind = self.GenusList.index(Genus)
			print ind
			self.SpeciesGrid.SetGridCursor(ind, -1)
		Species = self.SpeciesTXT.GetValue()
		if Species != '':
			nd = self.SpeciesList.index(Species)
			print ind
			self.SpeciesGrid.SetGridCursor(ind, -1)
		ScientificName = self.ScientificNameTXT.GetValue()
		if ScientificName != '':
			self.ScientificNameList = []
			for i in range(0,len(self.GenusList)):
				name = self.GenusList[i]+' '+self.SpeciesList[i]
				self.ScientificNameList.append(name)
			ind = self.ScientificNameList.index(ScientificName)
			print ind
			self.SpeciesGrid.SetGridCursor(ind, -1)

It returns the correct index, but the

self.SpeciesGrid.SetGridCursor(ind, -1)

does not set the cursor focus. How can I solve it?
Cheers!

app = wx.App()
SpeciesGrid(None, -1)
app.MainLoop()

The usage is

SetGridCursor(self, row, col)

, so why collumn -1 on your code mate?

self.SpeciesGrid.SetGridCursor(ind, -1)

Cheers and Happy coding

Oops! I didn't notice the -1. However, I created using the wx.grid.Grid.SelectRows style, so it selects the whole row. It does not matter which column I put in the col argument, it does not work.

Cheers!
