Allowing only rowselection in a datagrid

[Mario Michiels]

I would like a datagrid where you can only select by row. I can allready automatically select the rows :

Private Sub myDataGrid_CurrentCellChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs) Handles myDataGrid.CurrentCellChanged
myDataGrid.Select(myDataGrid.CurrentRowIndex)
End Sub

but the datagrid also still selects the text of the current cell in that row so you
can still select and copy the text of that cell.

How can I prevent the users from entering the cells in my grid leaving them only able to browse and select by row ?

Also when you use the scrollbutten on the mouse you scroll only a couple of rows and then it stops.

How do I enbable scrolling through the whole grid ?

Thanks in advance !

to prevent users editing a cell, set your datagrid readonly property to true.

Did you set the read only prpty in tdgird as false.
But you cannot use current cell changed event. Is that ok?

Well, I allready set the readonly to true. And no, now I can't change the contents of the cells BUT you can still copy the text in the cells.

I want something like a listbox where you can only go up and down the rows and that's it. The endgoal is that the user can doubleclick on any row in the datagrid and then an new dataform opens where the user can change the data of the selected record.

Is this even possible in a datagrid ? Or are there any other solutions (besides purchasing Janusgrid or something) ?

Thanks again !

yeah it is really possible in datagrid.
try this one.

Private Sub DataGrid1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.DoubleClick
		Dim f As New Form3()
		f.TextBox1.Text = DataGrid1.Item(DataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber, 0).ToString
'it fetches the first column data 
		f.ShowDialog()
	End Sub
