As I said I would like to know programmable click specific column header in datagridview of C#.

Normally other cells are possible to set focus like belows but how can do for column header?

This is for sorting operation of datagridview by clicking column header but I need programmable clicking.
Please advise me..

What I have tried:

datagridview.CurrentCell = datagridview.Rows[-1].Cell["A"];

Why click? The DataGridView has a Sort method, which accepts a DataGridViewColumn to sort by:

C#

private void MyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    if (int.TryParse(MyTextBox.Text, out int colNo))
        {
        myDataGridView.Sort(myDataGridView.Columns[colNo], ListSortDirection.Ascending);
        }
    }

private void MyOtherButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    if (int.TryParse(MyTextBox.Text, out int colNo))
        {
        myDataGridView.Sort(myDataGridView.Columns[colNo], ListSortDirection.Descending);
        }
    }

Normally User can click column header and then How can I make this by programmably?

Clicking on a column header sorts the data by the column, if that is allowed.
You have a way to programmatically sort the data by a specific column.
So why do you need to click on a column programmatically? What extar function does it do that you don't think you can emulate?

There is no such thing as "set focus on a ... column". A column cannot receive the input focus, so you're going to have to describe what you mean by this.
