[RESOLVED] How to select a cell in datagridview?

I have a dgv with 14 columns.

If i'm in dgv.item(8,0) in edit mode
What code can i use to jump to (12,0) and also enter editmode.

I call it editmode, dont know what the actual term is :o. Its the state where you can enter a value into that cell

Datagridview.CurrentCell = Datagridview.Rows(12).Cells(0)

The code you provided only selects the cell, but doesn't enter "editmode". I still have to click the cell before I can enter any data into that cell.

2nd problem I encountered was this error.

Any Ideas?

Why is your code in the CellLeave event handler? Also, this:

Code:

---

Datagridview.Rows(12).Cells(0)

---

is more simply done like this:

Code:

---

Datagridview(0, 12)

---

This is only my test project. In my main project it works like this:

The first column is the important one. After the user selected a value from the DatagridviewComboBoxColumn in column(0) it loads certain data from a table in the database. Then it defaults the values of some of the other columns.

99.99% of the time the values that have been defaulted wont need changing, so my goal is to skip the defaulted columns and jump directly into the important ones. This will make it easier for the user to capture data.

I found a way.

Here it is

vb Code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        intActivate = 1
    End Sub
 
    Dim intActivate As Integer = 0
    Dim WishedForCell As DataGridViewCell = Nothing
    Private Sub dgvPrice_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgv.CellValueChanged
        If e.ColumnIndex = 0 Then
            If intActivate = 1 Then
                Static RedirectingCell As Boolean = False
                If Not RedirectingCell Then
                    If e.ColumnIndex = 0 Then
                        RedirectingCell = True
                        WishedForCell = dgv.Item(2, e.RowIndex)
                    End If
                End If
                RedirectingCell = False
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub dgvPrice_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles dgv.KeyUp
        If WishedForCell IsNot Nothing Then
            Me.dgv.CurrentCell = WishedForCell
            WishedForCell = Nothing
        End If
    End Sub
