Data Grid selet row

Hello ...

when I click on the datagrid, a cell in the datagrid will be selected ...
but I want the whole row to be selected and not a cell ...
is there a style or something that should be changed ...

Muchas gracias ....

any body has any idea about what I am talking about ??

I think its easy but I can't find it ...

There should be a Select method on the datagrid that you pass a rowindex to

do you have any sample code for that ???

Cause what I am talking about is selecting all the row ... Not a cell ... I dont want any cell to be selected ...
selecting a cell means selecting the whole row where the cell is...

VB Code:

myDataGrid.Select(0) 'Select Row 0 (first row)

here's what i've got.
dunno if this would be the efficient one.

VB Code:

'cn is a connection
    Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("select * from orders", cn)
    Dim dt As New DataTable()
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        da.Fill(dt)
        DataGrid1.DataSource = dt
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim s As String
        For i = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1
            s &= " " & DataGrid1.Item(DataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber, i.ToString)
        Next
        MsgBox(s)
    End Sub

hope that helps. :rolleyes:

Is the RowHeader hidden? ie. so you have no selection tags on the left hand edge of the DataGrid.
