Setting the focus in a datagridview in windows form

Question

I have a datagridview that accepts a list(of myObject) as a datasource. I want to add a new row to the datagrid to add to the database. I get this done by getting the list... adding a blank myObject to the list and then reseting the datasource. I now want to set the focus to the second cell in the new row.

To CLARIFY i am trying to set the focus

Answer 1

In WinForms, you should be able to set the

Me.dataEvidence.SelectedRows

property to the row you want selected.

Answer 2

You can set the focus to a specific cell in a row but only if the SelectionMode on the DataGridView is set to CellSelect. If it is, simply do the following:

dataGridView.Rows[rowNumber].Cells[columnNumber].Selected = true;
