I need to force the DataGridView to show the selected row.
In short, I have a textbox that changes the DGV select
I made the next search function it works wel for scrolling selections in display.
private void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
dataGridView1.ClearSelection();
string strSearch = txtSearch.Text.ToUpper();
int iIndex = -1;
int iFirstFoundRow = -1;
bool bFound = false;
if (strSearch != "")
{
dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
/* Select All Rows Starting With The Search string in row.cells[1] =
second column. The search string can be 1 letter till a complete line
If The dataGridView MultiSelect is set to true this will highlight
all found rows. If The dataGridView MultiSelect is set to false only
the last found row will be highlighted. Or if you jump out of the
foreach loop the first found row will be highlighted.*/
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
if ((row.Cells[1].Value.ToString().ToUpper()).IndexOf(strSearch) == 0)
{
iIndex = row.Index;
if(iFirstFoundRow == -1) // First row index saved in iFirstFoundRow
{
iFirstFoundRow = iIndex;
}
dataGridView1.Rows[iIndex].Selected = true; // Found row is selected
bFound = true; // This is needed to scroll de found rows in display
// break; //uncomment this if you only want the first found row.
}
}
if (bFound == false)
{
dataGridView1.ClearSelection(); // Nothing found clear all Highlights.
}
else
{
// Scroll found rows in display
dataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = iFirstFoundRow;
}
}
}
