Hi,

You need to make use of the row the current row, but CurrentRow is readonly, so setting the current cell has the desired effect.

DataGridView.CurrentCell Property[^]

You could also handle this event:

C#

public event EventHandler SelectionChanged

which will notify you if the current selection has changed. This way you can test if the selection has changed.

Kind regards,
