Dataqgridview select white space in row

[EagleTempest]

VB .Net 2005 and Framework 2.0

I have the selection property set to:
.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect

It appears that for the property:
datagridview..SelectedRows(0).Index to return the selected row, the user must actual click on the text in one of the cells of the row.

Selected a row by clicking on the white space in a cell changed the selected row visually on screen, but the Index property doesn't change (as tested by displaying the index in a textbox).

Any ideas to fix this that clicking anywhere on a row triggers the Index property?

gonna have to dispute that...

just tried it and it worked.

        If DataGridView1.SelectedRows().Count > 0 Then
            TextBox1.Text = DataGridView1.SelectedRows(0).Index
        End If

I have noticed that the datagridview_CellContentClick event only triggers when the text in a cell is actually clicked on. Clicking on the white space doesn't cause the trigger.

i loaded a cell with no data, and it worked.

Oops. I was using the CellContentClick method instead of CellClick.
