Trouble with Datagridview.ClearSelection()

Question

I want my (readonly,fullrowselect) datagridviews to have no selected rows when the form is loaded. I tried .ClearSelection in the forms constructor after setting their datasource but it doesn't work (i would really like to know why...).

Then i tried in the Form_load event but it won't clear the selection on the datagridviews i have placed on the not immediately visible tab containers.

Am i doing something wrong? I could do it in the Layout event of each tab page but then it will deselect the rows every time the user changes tab, which is not a desired behavior.

Answer 1

I found out that it's not working in FormLoad but works fine in FormShown. So you only have to set your dataGridView1.ClearSelection in your FormShown and everything works fine.

Answer 2

Try call an

yourGridView.Update(); 

after calling the

ClearSelection();

to redraw the grid.
