How do I make a datagridview not selectable?

[Bernard.Mangay]

I dont' want users to be able to select/highlight cells.

After you have entered your data, you could set DataGridView1.Enabled = false;

Thanks. That works.

However, when enable=false, I can't scroll the datagrid anymore. Is
there a way to make it scrollable while not enabled?

That would be difficult with the DataGridView (dgv) control disabled. You'd
have to write your own code to capture the mouse wheel movements, then scroll
the dgv control on your own by making lower rows visible.

You are delving into 'non-trivial' code.

Here's another approach: Write code to handle the dgv's
SelectedIndexChanged, and whenever that is fired, call:

dgv.CurrentRow.Selected = false;

That should cover you.

Always more than one way to skin a cat (although I've never known anyone
morbid enough to skin cats).
