run time set focus to gridview

hi i am able to add a new row to my databounded datagrdiview. this is my code

 DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
              
                dt.Rows.Add(dr);
                gvEditSale.DataSource = dt;

                int idx = gvEditSale.Rows.GetLastRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible);
                gvEditSale.Rows[idx].Selected = true;

The new row is selected and highlighted. However, i failed to set the edit focus to the row which is selected = true. The small arrow on the rowheader is still remained at the original row eventhough the focus has moved to the new row.

Please advice

The arrow points to the position within the list or dataset that your grid is hooked up to. It looks like you're setting the data source of the grid to be the new row you create, which is cutting off the link to your original data source. You shouldn't have to change the data source in any case. Try removing the line:

gvEditSale.DataSouce = dt;

Hi alain,

If you want to make last row as edit row, just select it is not enough. You need to make one of the cells of the last row as the CurrentCell.

For example:
int idx = this.dataGridView1.Rows.GetLastRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible);
dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[0, idx];

Now you can see the small arrow on the row header has been moved to the last row.

Please feel free to tell me if you have any question.

Sincerely,
