Declaration

C#

)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rowHandle	Int32	An integer value that specifies the handle of the row where the cell is located.
column	GridColumn	A GridColumn object that represents the column which contains the cell.

Remarks

Use the SelectCell method to select a cell, adding it to the existing selection (if any). A cell is located at the intersection of the specified row and column.

The SelectCell method does nothing if the DataViewBase.NavigationStyle property isn’t set to GridViewNavigationStyle.Cell and/or the DataControlBase.SelectionMode property isn’t set to Cell.

To select multiple cells, use the TableView.SelectCells method.
