DoubleClick broken by drag drop

Problem: The first mouse click on a DataGridView after performing a drag
drop operation is ignored.

The application below demostrates the problem we are having. It nicely
allows me to grab an item from the DataGridView and drop it into the
ListView. The problem we are encountering however is that the next mouse
click performed on the DataGridView is ignored... making is necessary to
click twice in order to change the selected element.

Is there some mechanism or operation I need to perform at the time of the
drop to cancel whatever state the DataGridView is staying in ?

Hi mikeoliszewski,

Thank you for using Microsoft Managed Newsgroup Service, I'm Zhi-Xin Ye,
it's my pleasure to work with you on this issue.

It seems that when performing the drag and drop operation, the DataGridView
is in a state that prevent it from setting the current cell to the one that
user clicks. To workaround this problem, you can set the CurrentCell
property for the DataGridView control manually. The following code works:

private void ITEMS_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
DataGridView.HitTestInfo info = ITEMS.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
if (info.RowIndex >= 0)
{
ITEMS.DoDragDrop(ITEMS.Rows[info.RowIndex].Cells[1].Value,
DragDropEffects.All);

//Set the CurrentCell property manually.
this.ITEMS.CurrentCell = this.ITEMS[0, info.RowIndex];
}
}

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Have a great day!

Best Regards,
Zhi-Xin Ye
