I have an Access database of movies. I am creating a Windows Form Application. All the columns and rows show in the dataGridView on Form2. On Form1 there is a listBox that shows only the movie name. There is also a button on Form1. I want to select a movie name from the listBox and click the button and Form2 should pop up(which it does)and the record(row) for that movie should be selected in the dataGridView(which it doesn't) so I do not have to scroll through 800+ movies listed to find it.

Any thoughts?

thanks,
dirk

Solution 1

Look at DataGridView.Rows[index].Selected property: MSDN[^].

To make sure a row is scrolled into the display, set the DataGridView.CurrentCell property: MSDN[^]

Thank you, I searched MSDN yesterday for a long time and could not find that. I found lots of other samples that did not quite work for what I am doing. I knew it was there somewhere.
