I used the following code but sometimes if i click on different cell randomly, it won't really highlight the particular row. May i know why? Thank you.

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Private[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] DataGridView1_CellContentClick([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] sender [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Object, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] e [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Handles[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] DataGridView1.CellContentClick[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Selected = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Set SelectionMode property to FullRowSelect.

Don't need any code for this.

When i assign an action under the DataGridView1_CellContentClick and click on the title row, an error will occur. May i know how to lock the title row so then it won't trigger the action under DataGridView1_CellContentClick? Thank you.

What is e.RowIndex value when this happens ? Is is '-1' ? If so, you can check if e.RowIndex is this value and escape that with the IF-THEN statement. So there's no need for you to write a new DataGridView control just yet.
