highlight user tap row on datagrid

Hello,

All I want to do is highlight the row of a datagrid when ever a user taps
inside the grid. What am I doing wrong



hitinfo = DataGrid1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)

currentrow = hitinfo.Row

If DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex = currentrow Then

DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex = System.Drawing.Color.Goldenrod

End If



Thanks

Hi,

I use this command to make it:

[code]
Private Sub dataGrid_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles dataGrid.Click
Try
If Not dataGrid Is Nothing Then
Dim row As Integer = dataGrid.CurrentCell.RowNumber

dataGrid.Select(row)

row = Nothing
End If
Catch
End Try
End Sub
[/code]

You're trying to assign color value to the row index. That is similar to
sending a package using recipient's birthday as address.



To highlight row you can select it instead:



DataGrid1.Select(currentrow)



To change color of selected row, please alter these properties:



DataGrid1.SelectionBackColor

DataGrid1.SelectionForeColor
