Disable tha highlightning

[Onenew]

In my project I have a DataGridView with only one row. See here:



But I have to change something. When the datagridview appears, the first cell is highlighted what I dont want, because, in this case, this is confusing.
Is there any possibility to disable this highlight?
Thanks in advance.

Set the focus on a different control when the form opens.

Typically I use the ever present "Cancel" or "Close" button.

That would indicate that your DataGridView is first in the Tab order, so it gets focus when the form opens. Change the Tab order so it's not first.

Hi, jmcilhinney and Hack,
I set the TabIndex for DataGridView to 99 , set another textbox to focus or select, but still is the same case.

Well, you wouldn't set the TabIndex to 99 for a start. Simply click the Tab Order button on the tool bar and then click the controls in the order you want them.

Try setting the grid's CurrentCell to Nothing in the form's Shown event handler.

jmcilhinney,
That way nothing is accomplished.
Does anyone know how to do it?

Set the Tabindex of the textbox you selected to 0

That is the only tabindex you need to worry about.

I tested it and it worked, so you did something wrong.
