Setting Focus in a DataGridView. How can I accomplish this? 1

[RotorTorque]

Hi all,
I have a VB2005 app in which I use a DataGridView control. One of the columns in my DataGridView is a button column. When the button is clicked a pop-up window is diplayed. When this pop-up window is closed I would like focus to go back to the row from where the button was clicked, but instead focus is set to the first row in the DataGridView. How can I accomplish what this?


Thanks in advance,
RotorTorque

I had a user request a similar setup and here is what I came up with. Might be a better solution out there, but this works a treat for me.

'This gets the index of the first row
'displayed on the screen
Dim FirstDisplayedIndex As Int32 = Me.dgvInventory.Rows.GetFirstRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Displayed)

'This block opens my edit form
Dim frm As New EditInventory
frm.intInventoryId = Me.intCurrentId
frm.ShowDialog()

'This refreshes my datagridview
Me.dgvInventory.Fill(Me.DsSims.vInventoryByWarehouseAndAllocationGroup)

'This is the key to my example...
'It takes the index found in the
'first step and makes the datagridview
'display that row as the first one on the screen
Me.VInventoryByWarehouseAndAllocationGroupDataGridView.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = FirstDisplayedIndex
