Focus on the first cell in a DataGrid

[mattyboy2000]

Hi,

I have a form with one control on it ( a datagrid). When It loads I want the first cell to have focus (As you would expect). I databing it to a data table and then call the following lines:

Me.dgVATCodes.CurrentCell = New DataGridCell(0, 0)
Me.dgVATCodes.Focus()

The problem is that it does nothing!!!

If I do:

Me.dgVATCodes.CurrentCell = New DataGridCell(0, 1)
Me.dgVATCodes.Focus()

It focuses on the second cell (No probs)

Any Ideas???

I cant get the first column (0) to receive focus no matter what row it is. It works perfectly on columns greater than the 2nd (1).

have you tried datagrid.select(0) ?

it works fine for me
//icca /icca

This solution selects the whole row.

I need to Focus ONLY on the first cell of the first row (0,0). Any Ideas??

I was thinking about sending a tab however many spaces it takes to get to the grid....but I don't like the send keys function.

I tried that but it doesn't seem to work

yeah. sorry didn't read it carefully enough..
but dg.focus() does focus the first cell in my app.
why are you creating a new cell?

I'm not really creating a new cell.

The current cell property returns a DataGridCell that only has the column and row numbers. by setting it to a new cell (0,1) I am giving it new coordinates

I know it doesn't make mutch sence, but it's how it works

well.. if it doesn't make sence is it probably not a very good solution..
