windows form datagrid questions

[Wayne]

I have a datagrid on my windows form, it needs to be read only and when a
user selects a row, I want the whole row to be selected.

How would I go about doing this?

Hi Wayne

Interestingly, I've had to do exactly this today. If you start with the
Windows Forms FAQ (at Syncfusion), then that will get you started. I needed
row selection together with ReadOnly data, and also not having the text in
the cell highlighted when I clicked on it, and had to hack it together with a
MouseDown and MouseUp pair of handlers to set the Enable property on the
DataGrid to false, then to true while doing the selection - it felt like a
terrible hack (and I didn't test it much...), and would be interested to see
if other people have a more elegant way of achieving the same thing.

private void DataGrid1_MouseDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Point pt = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = this.DataGrid1.HitTest(pt);

if(hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell)
{

this.DataGrid1.CurrentCell = new DataGridCell(hti.Row, hti.Column);
this.DataGrid1.Enabled = false;
this.DataGrid1.Select(hti.Row);
this.DataGrid1.Enabled = true;
}

}

private void DataGrid1_MouseUp(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Point pt = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = this.DataGrid1.HitTest(pt);

if(hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell)
{

this.DataGrid1.CurrentCell = new DataGridCell(hti.Row, hti.Column);
this.DataGrid1.Select(hti.Row);
}
}

Here's the code:
