I have a GDBG that I filter using a TextBox. As the user types in the TextBox, I filter the DataView. The GDBG is using the fullrow highlighting trick of hooking CellActivated, CellMoving, CellDeactived, etc. I want to ensure that the first row in the grid is selected once the user filters the grid, so I attempt a call to grid.CurrentCell.MoveTo(1, 1) but it will not highlight the row unless the grid is focused.
Is my approach flawed or is there another approach that would be better?

Sean, I tried to reproduce the problem in the attached sample and could not. Is your grid or textbox in some other containers than a Form like this sample?

Clay,
If you change the tab order so that the TextBox receives focus on load, you'll see the problem that I describe.
Thanks,

I added
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.ForceCurrentCellMoveTo = true;
to the bottom of Form_Load, and then the CurrentCell.MoveTo in TextBox_Changed worked as expected.
Also, if you want to initially see the selected row in the grid, you can also add a
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(1,1);
in FormLoad as well.
