Hi,

In my three-column DataGridView I setthe first two columns to be read-only, only the last column is editable.I also set CellSelect as SelectionMode to enable the user to select any particular cell in the third column. This did not prevent the first and second column's cells from being selectable in the UI, so I execute ClearSelection() whenever a cell from those columns is selected.

However, what remains now is a slight rectangle around the selected cells (the focus?)...

Can I get rid of this, too? What would be the best practice, in general, to have "really" read-only columns that do not react to user clicks in any way (except for the column headers)?

Thank you,

Andy

I have done this before using the CellEnter event. I check to see which column is being entered. If the column is ReadOnly, then I use SendKeys.Send("{TAB}"). I have yet to find a better way to do this.
