How to set CurrentCell to -1, -1

[Maxim Software Systems]

Is it possible to return the state of the CurrentCell in a GridControl back to what it was before any cell was actually selected. I''ve tried moving the CurrentCell to -1, -1, but that doesn''t work.

Hi Don,

Regarding the previous selected cell movement:

Try this code to retrun back to the previously selected cell in a grid. Here is a code snippet.

int prevRowIndex = -1;
int prevColIndex = -1;
private void gridControl1_CurrentCellMoving(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridCurrentCellMovingEventArgs e)
{
prevColIndex = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.ColIndex;
prevRowIndex = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(prevRowIndex,prevColIndex);
}

Regarding the cell(-1,-1):

You need to call the CurrentCell. MoveTo method to move the current cell to required position(-1,-1).

this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(-1,-1);

Here is a sample.

Let me know if this helps.

I meant the "-1,-1" cell that was selected before the user actually selects a cell in grid, but thanks for the info.

Yes, this is what I tried to do and it didn''t work. I tried putting this exact code in a test button on my form and it had no effect. Putting a watch on the CurrentCell I saw that the rowindex and colindex properties didn''t change. Am I missing something?

The closest I seem to be able to get to doing what I want is calling:

mygrid.CurrentCell.SetPositionNoActivate(-1, -1)

Unfortunately, it still looks like the previously selected cell is still active when I do this.
