C# - Select Rown in DataGridView

Question

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on my datagridview which is being populated by a stored procedure's query from the database. My question is how can I select the whole row even though I only click one cell?

Example, there are four columns returned by the stored procedure. So basically the datagridview will present to me data in four columns. If I select row 2 of column 3, is it possible that the action will not only highlight the row2 column 3 but the whole row 2?

Thanks very much!

Answer 1

DataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = DataGridView1.Rows(counter).Index

DataGridView1.Refresh()

DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.Rows(counter).Cells(1)

DataGridView1.Rows(counter).Selected = True

You can set the SelectionMode of your datagridview to FullRowSelect:

dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;

Answer 3

There is a DataGridView.SelectionMode property you can set to fullrowselect.
