How can I set the focus on a specific cell in my Grid ?

How can I set the cursor in a specific cell ?

Thanx !

[Administrator]

grid.CurrentCell.MoveTo(rowIndex, colIndex)

It will also accept a third activation parameter if you want to use that as well.

[Administrator]

Thanx ! that works

I also added
Grid.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();

and I see the cursor.
But I want the cell to be filled by the user.
So I built a check in the CurrentCellValidated-event.

But if the user clicks on another cell without any filling of the cell the CurrentCellValidated-event is not fired ? Because the cell didn''t change ?

How can I force the event to be always fired ?

Try using CurrentCellMoving. This event should be raised anytime the current cell is about to be moved, and you can cancel it by setting e.Cancel = true.

That also doesn''t work well if the grid loses focus...

In addition to setting CurrentCell.BeginEdit, also try setting CurrentCell.IsModified = true. Then you can handle the CurrentCellValidating event, and it will be hit whether you are moving cell to cell, or out of the grid (provided whatever is getting focus has CausesValidation = true).

Thanx !!

I will try that (tomorrow)

So I tried and it works.
