Try SelectionChanging or SelectionChanged.

OH, I'm using a gridDataboundGrid. That events is not in this grid. Could you suggest another event method for the grid databound grid.

Thanks

The SelectionChanging/SelectionChanged events are members of the GridDataBoundGrid.Model class.

You can get at this event from the GridDataBoundGrid.Model.SelectionChanged. In C#, you would use this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.SelectionChanged += ... and in VB you would use Addhandler me.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.SelectionChanged, addressof .....

The GDBG.Model.SelectionChanged event fires when the user selects a row in the grid but the selections.count is zero initially then the user has to select the row/cell a second time for the selections collection to have items. After the second time the grid selection works fine. Is this a bug?

This event will fire when selections are removed also. For example, if you are using ListBoxMode, then when you click another row, this event is hit twice, once to remove the original selection and once to add the new selection. You can test e.Range to distinguish these case as e.Range is empty when a selection is being removed.

If this does not explain what you are seeing, can you post a little sample project showing the problem, or tell us how to see it in one of the samples we ship?

HEre is the code added to one of your samples. Just click on the grid when the form opens.

If you add this to the formload, you will not see your message.

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.ForceCurrentCellMoveTo = true;
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(2,1);

The reason is that initially, there was no current cell. And your code is considering the currentcell as a selection.

[grer]

so if there are multiple grids. I have to set all the grids with a current cell and this will keep for each grid?

Yes, I think it will work.
