Unable to set focus to a particular cell using the datagridview

[svaradan]

Hi

I have an issue wherein when the RowLeave event is trigerred ina datagridview, I want to set the focus back to the row where the validation failed. But the cell focus goes to the cell i clicked or tabbed into even though I have set the focus back to the rouge row with a .selected = true property.

I have tried the following with no success...

iRowNumber = timesheetdataGr idView.CurrentC ell.RowIndex;
DataGridViewRow dgvR = timesheetdataGr idView.Rows[iRowNumber];
dgvR.Selected = true;
(OR)

timesheetdataGr idView.Rows[iRowNumber].Selected = true;
timesheetdataGr idView.CurrentC ell = timesheetdataGr idView[0, iRowNumber];

Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi

It looks to me like since I am clicking out or tabbing onto another row, the mouse down or tab event is interfering with selecting a row. I tried having a command button with the selected.true property set and that works fine. How do I get around this issue.

Use CellValidating event
If validation fails, set e.cancel to true

No need to do anything simply set the focus to the datagridview1 ....

Try to use
dataGridView1.C urrentCell = dataGridView1[columnIndex, RowIndex];
