I want to retrieve data from the HList itself based on the current selection ($grid->info("selection")). This would be what I'd call an equivalent of $listbox->get($index). So in otherwords something like $grid->get(0,1) or be able to retrieve an array of the entire row and work from there. Thanks for your response to my problem.
