auto-highlight row in datagrid

[jrwinterburn]

Hi Guys,

I cannot seem to get my datagrid to do what I want. When I run my form, the first row is selected (that's fine) but the first cell is selected with a cursor in it (not fine) whereas I'd rather either no cell or row is selected, or the first row is highlighted (no cursor).

When I click on another row, the row is fully selected which is what I want, but I can't get it to auto-highlight the first row.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jon

In the Form_Load event - make sure its after you load data into the grid - try this:

DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex = 0
DataGrid1.Select(DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex)

Substitute your grid's name for DataGrid1, of course.

Thanks for that but it makes no difference - I was already using DataGrid1.Select(DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex) to highlight the row - when I add DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex = 0 it makes no difference - the first cell of the highlighted row still appears in edit mode, inasmuch as the cursor is blinking on that cell and it is grey. I can't see to get rid of that cursor!
