Selecting a row in DataGridView programmatically

Question

How can I select a particular range of rows in a DataGridView programmatically at runtime?

Answer 1

In Visual Basic, do this to select a row in a DataGridView; the selected row will appear with a highlighted color but note that the cursor position will not change:

Grid.Rows(0).Selected = True

Do this change the position of the cursor:

Grid.CurrentCell = Grid.Rows(0).Cells(0)

Combining the lines above will position the cursor and select a row. This is the standard procedure for focusing and selecting a row in a DataGridView:

Grid.CurrentCell = Grid.Rows(0).Cells(0)
Grid.Rows(0).Selected = True
