Determine Selected Row when keyboard arrows are used

[Greg Goodall]

I am using a DataGrid and need to know what event is fired when I move from cell to cell by using the keyboard directional (arrows) keys. Then I need to know what row the cursor is in so I can use that row information to search a database table and provide additional information.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

What event is fired when I move from cell to cell by using the keyboard directional (arrows) keys?.

You can use the CurrentCellKeyDown event to handle the arrow keys. To detect the cell moving, you can handle the CurrentCellMoving/CurrentCellMoved event of the grid. Also you can use the CurrencyManager.Current property to get the selected(current row) object from the grid. Below is a code.

CurrencyManager cm = this.BindingContext[this.gridDataBoundGrid1.DataSource] as CurrencyManager;
Console.WriteLine("For Current Item >>>>>>>" + cm.Current);

Best regards,
