Remove Row Header and move cells

[Aaron Taylor]

Hello everyone,

Admittedly this is a newby question, but I did not find any reference to it in the forums so I feel compelled to ask.

I am first trying to make the row header information invisible. I do not want a count of all the rows going down the side of my grid. I cannot believe I cannot find a solution to this, but perhaps I am looking to hard.

Secondly I have shortcut keys to move the grid up and down just like the arrows keys, however I want them to move the grid whether the grid has focus or not. Even if I have to set the focus to the grid and move the cell manually. I have tried a few methods to do this to no avail..
Here is one shot.

    Private Sub btnUp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUp.Click
        '' Move the cell view up one
        If gridTrading2.CurrentCell.RowIndex() > 0 And gridTrading2.CurrentCell.RowIndex() < gridTrading2.RowCount Then
            gridTrading2.CurrentCell.Activate(gridTrading2.CurrentCell.RowIndex(), 5)
            gridTrading2.CurrentCell.Move(GridDirectionType.Up, 1, False, False)
        End If
    End Sub

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

To hide the row headers, try:

grid.Properties.RowHeaders = false;
//or
grid.Cols.Hidden[0] = true;

To make a particular cell the currentcell: try

grid.Focus();//if the grid does not have focus
grid.CurrentCell.MoveTo(someRowIndex, someColIndex);

The MoveTo method can also take a 3rd parameter that you can use to actually activate the cell for editing (GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus) among other setting.

Thank you very much Chris.

Both suggestions where just what I was looking for. Being new at this grid is driving me crazy, but at least there is good help here.

Sincerely,

Aaron Taylor
