Set Currentcell!

[Boris Jansen]

want to set the currentcell!

at the moment the grid.currentcell.rowindex or colindex are -1

now i want to set rowindex = 2 and colindex =5
any idea?

this.grid.CurrentCell.MoveTo(5,2);

If you are trying the in formload, you also may have to set this.grid.ForceCurrentCellMoveTo = true;

I have a question similar to this. I have attached a sample where the user clicks a button where it ends the edit of the cell. Then if the user clicks another cell, the first cell they selected stays highlighted. It has to do with the celldrawn even that u had us add to let the cell stay selected when a user clicks a button and thats fine. I want to know how to make it so when the user clicks another cell that the first cell becomes unselected. SelectText_8867.zip

One way you can do it is to refresh the old cell after drawing the rectangle over the new cell.

Private oldRow As Integer = -1
Private oldCol As Integer = -1

Private Sub Grid1_CellDrawn(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridDrawCellEventArgs) Handles Grid1.CellDrawn
Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = Me.Grid1.CurrentCell
If e.ColIndex = cc.ColIndex AndAlso e.RowIndex = cc.RowIndex AndAlso Not Me.Grid1.PrintingMode Then
       Dim brush As New SolidBrush(Me.Grid1.AlphaBlendSelectionColor)
        Try
                e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.Bounds)
            Finally
                brush.Dispose()
            End Try
            If oldRow > -1 And oldCol > -1 And (oldRow <> e.RowIndex Or oldCol <> e.ColIndex) Then
                Grid1.RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Cell(oldRow, oldCol))
            End If
            oldRow = e.RowIndex
            oldCol = e.ColIndex
        End If
  End Sub
