Remarks

The SelectCells method allows you to select multiple cells, adding them to the existing selection (if any). In this case, the method's parameters determine the block's starting and ending edges, respectively.

The SelectCells method does nothing if the DataViewBase.NavigationStyle property isn't set to GridViewNavigationStyle.Cell and/or the TableView.MultiSelectMode property isn't set to TableViewSelectMode.Cell.

To select a single cell, use the TableView.SelectCell method.
