Selecting a new cell in a DataGridView

Dom

I posted this before, no takers. Trying again.

Is there anyway to cancel the selection of a new cell in a
DataGridView? For example, if the user selects a cell with the
control key down, then I don't want the selection to change.

Well, I decided to answer this question myself, since none of you
lunkheads seems to know how to do this.

I created MyDataGridView, which extends DataGridView and overrides the
OnMouseDown event handler. This new handler fires off two events,
MouseDownPrep and base.OnMouseDow n, but the second event only fires if
the result of the first event okays it.

I guess that's the only way.

There's nothing that makes people here want to help you more than being
insulted.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
