DataGridView without selected row at the beginning

Question

In my WinForms I have DataGridView. I wanted to select full row at once so I set SelectionMode as FullRowSelect. And now I have problem, b

Answer 1

Try setting DataGridView.AllowUserToAddRows = false in constructor after InitializeComponent().

Answer 2

"Shown" event that run after frame first displayed worked for me:

private void frmMain_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            dataGridView1.ClearSelection();
        }

Answer 3

Unfortunately none of these answers helped me, but I found other solution. Instead of unable selection I will just hide it with this piece of code:

dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor;
dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor;

So if anyone just wants to hide the selection it's gonna work pretty well.

Cheers :)

Answer 4

The event to set for disabled selected row at start is this, and manage a FLAG to stop the ClearSelection

private void dataGridView_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (FLAG==true)
    {
       dataGridView.ClearSelection();
       FLAG=false;
    }
}

If this is because it raised unwanted GridView1_SelectionChanged event on initial loading, you can use a flag to handle this

public partial class YourFormName
{ 
    private bool IsReady= false;

    private void YourFormName_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    { 
           //Load your GridView1...
           //Format your GridView1...
            IsReady = true;
    }
    void GridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         if (!IsReady) 
             return;
         //do the rest of the stuffs
    }
}

Answer 6

This works for me:

private void dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
    dataGridView1.Rows[0].Selected = false;
}
