Yet another DataGrid question...

[ultraman]

I just search the forum for DataGrid answers, but unfortunately, I found a lot of questions, with few answers.

 

I would just like to know if it's possible to change the selection style of a DatGrid. So that when a user click on a column, the entire row gets selected (like if he had click on the row marker on the left).

 

Of course, my grid doesn't allow new and is not updatable. It would be the master part of a master-detail Form.

 

 

Thanks !

I don't think so. The Select method allows you to select the control, or a row, but not a column, and the DataGridColumnStyle class doesn't seem to have any selection functionality.

Well, I just reread my post and I think it wasn't very clear what I'm trying to do. It's not when a user click on a column, but on a particular cell.

 

What I finally did is use the Select method of the DataGrid. So in the MouseUp event, I call this sub and it works fine.

 

Private Sub mDataGrid_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles mDataGrid.MouseUp
          mDataGrid.Select(mDataGrid.CurrentRowIndex)
   End Sub

Oops, sorry. :o I misread, and thought you wanted to be able to click on a column header and select the entire column. Glad you worked it out though.
