Selection issue after column freezing

[EQusJin]

I am using gridcontrol in winforms.

After creating the rows and columns, I froze 5 columns as shown in the code below.

GridControl .Cols.FrozenCount = 5;

The selection expands to the left based on FrozenCount.

For example, if you select cell B5, the selection will extend from B5 to E5.

When unfreezing, only one cell is selected at a time.

How do I select only one cell at a time even after freezing the column?

Hi EQusJin,

We have analyzed your query. We followed the information you provided, but we were unable to replicate your scenario. When I select cell B5, the selection will not extend from B5 to E5; the selection will be applied to only cell B5.

Kindly provide the below details,

• Provide your Syncfusion version.
• Provide the details about your customization, if you are doing anything related to selection or frozen columns.

We have provided a sample for your reference; please review the sample. If possible, try to replicate your scenario with our provided sample. This will help us proceed further.

I found the cause of the problem

When I set the ExcelLikeSelectionFrame property of the grid to true, the problem I asked about appears.

I am attaching ExcelLikeSelectionFrame to true to the example source you provided.

Thank you for your reply

Hi EQusJin,

We analyzed the reported scenario at the source level. When the count of frozen rows/columns is provided to the Grid Control, the range of frozen cells is not updated in the VisibleCellsRange.
As a result, the selection does not update properly. We need more time to analyze the behavior of this visible range when frozen rows/columns are applied.
We will update the further details on or before January 2, 2024.
