Question

I have a datagridview containing lot of data and I want to select data one by one using button.

VB

dim i as integer
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       i += 1
       DataGridView1.Rows(i).Selected = True
End Sub

It's working, but when row out of DataGridView control, the selected row didn't auto focus.
(need scroll bar to see current selected)

How to set auto focus to selected row?
or
Is there any better code to make this work?

I'm not an expert in VB but this must be accomplished something like this:
(Please note that the below code is C#)

DataGridView1.SelectedIndex = 1; //get the index of the row to set focus
DataGridView1.SelectedRow.Focus();
//Additionally, you can also change the background color of the row to grab the user's attention
//DataGridView1.SelectedRow.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

thank you for answer..
i'm also not expert in c#.. but i got error when run.. :)

DataGridView1.SelectedIndex = 1;

error say :
'SelectedIndex' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView' :(

i already try using SelectedIndex in other control and it's only work with Listbox or ComboBox control, and it's auto focus

i think using listbox as tabel view will be more complicate.. :sigh:

An accurate answer depends on how you are binding your datagrid.

If you are binding via a BindingSource component you can use the BindingSource.MoveNext[^] BindingSource.MovePrev methods.

Or alternatively you might be able to use the CurrencyManager.Position[^] property to simulate that as shown in the example.

I'm using DataTable as DataSource
I do not think that the datasource can control directly using binding, so I just focus edit my code datagridview.. haha
