    Is this a Windows Forms DataGrid? If so the individual rows and cells aren't going to be visible as Children in the Object Browser. However, there are properties and methods for accessing them. For instance you should be able to use the ClickCell method if it exists, for example to click the cell under the Phone column in the first row it would be DataGridObj.ClickCell(0, 'Phone')

     

    You can also get the value in any of the cells by using the wValue property of the DataGrid
