Burak,
the way I got it to work was to set:

IB_Grid.Multiselected:=TRUE

this allows the user to select multiple items. Then, to determine which
items are selected, I use buffers:

var ItemsSelected: TStringList;
thisRow: Integer;

ItemsSelected:=TStringList.Create;
try
if (IB_Query.BufferRowCount>0)
then begin
{scroll through the buffer so (a) we only check
against rows
actually brought back to the client and (b) we
don't cause the main
dataset to scroll:}
IB_Query.BufferFirst;
while not IB_Query.BufferEOF
do begin
thisRow:=IB_Query.BufferRowNum;
//change the FieldByName as appropriate:
if IB_Query.Selected[thisRow]
then
ItemsSelected.Add(IB_Query.BufferFieldByName('ID').AsString);
IB_Query.BufferNext;
end; //while not IB_Query.BufferEOF do begin
end; //if (IB_Query.BufferRowCount>0) then begin
//ItemsSelected now contains the IDs of all selected rows
finally
ItemsSelected.Free;
end;

This works great and is extremely quick.
