DataBound Grid

[Doug Finke]

I have a grid whose underlying datasource gets updates about 3 times/second.
The grid is sorted. And as the updates flow the datarows shuffle around.

If the user clicks on a row, I store the “key” related to that row so that when the datasource is updated, I can move the row and cell into view.

this._dataGrid.CurrentCell.MoveTo(rowIndex, CurrentColIndex);
this._dataGrid.ScrollCellInView(rowIndex, CurrentColIndex); this._dataGrid.LeftColIndex = LeftColIndex;
.
.
.
Restore any selected columns Model.Selections.Add.

I let the application run in the background. When brought to the foreground, after while, the grid does not repaint. I have tried Invalidate and other approaches to get the grid to repaint. It does not work.

The above code executes only if a user clicks on a row.

If I bring up the app and do _not_ click on a row, do the same steps as above, the grid repaints no problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Have you tried code such as

this.ActiveControl = this.gridDataBoundGrid1; // here this is the parent form
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Focus(); 

to make sure the grid has focus when you bring it to the front.
