Selecting a row in a datagrid

[al445843]

Hi,

I want to be able to select a row on my datagrid, but I don't know what is happening.

 

First I get a key of the item that should be selected on my grid, and then I try to use that information to select the row, but I can't make it

 

 

I have this code in my ItemDataBound event of my datagrid

 

If dgChartMap.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex) = MyKey Then

dgChartMap.SelectedIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex

End If

 

So, I debugged it, and in fact I get the SelectedIndex value right, but when I see the datagrid, no row is selected.

 

Does anybode know what am I doing wrong, or how should I set this in order to run?

 

Thanks in advance

I´m not sure of what you mean by 'when I see the datagrid no row is selected', but if you want to display the selected row you´ve got to open the property builder select Format > Items > Selected Items and change the appearance (Back Color, Font,Fore Color...).

 

Hope this will help.

If I understand correctly, you want to highlight a row in the datagrid as though the user clicked (selected) a row. Is this correct?

If so try this.... DataGrid1.Select(yourIntValue)
