DataGridView CurrentRow excludes new row

Question

I want to get the index of the current row of my DataGridView. The problem is, that if the current row is the new row, CurrentRow is set to the last row that is not the new row. I cannot check for the rows to be selected because if a row is selected that doesn't mean it is the current row and the current row isn't necessarily selected.

I can get the index of the new row, but how can I know whether the new row is the current row?

Answer 1

Can this property value solve your problem?

dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex

Answer 2

I hooked into the CellClick event via the following code:

private void uiEntries_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.RowIndex == uiEntries.NewRowIndex);
}

When that condition is true, the user 'selected' the new row. Based upon that information, you may need to actually insert a new record (using the ..Rows.Add() method) before you can actually do anything with it since the new row doesn't actually exist in the collection; it's just there as a placeholder to represent a new row.
