I tried the search engine to find any information on this matter, but I had no luck in finding that which fits my situation.

I have a connection to a database established and I have used it to let the user input information. I have the information displayed as a datagrid on the form. I want to retrieve data from a certain cell and display it as a label when the user clicks a command button. Here's the catch: the user only has to select the row, or a cell from row, that the data is on. The reason being is that the column that holds the retrieved data is hidden.

Ex: User inputs an item name, price, manufacturer, and the product description(type memo(long), and the data to be retrieved). All that information is stored into a database file located in the same folder the project file is in. That information is also displayed on a datagrid, with the Description column having a width of 0*table.width(essentially, zero; its totally hidden). That is becasue the Description will be displayed on a label underneath the grid when the person selects(or highlights) the approprite row and presses a command button.

I can give you more information, and even the source code. Unfortunately, the source code does not have any programmers comments yet.
