Disabling a column in DataGridView

tony lock

Has anybody found a way to disable a column in DataGridView i.e prevent it
being selected. With DataGrid it was fairly easy to check on the column being
entered and move the selection to the next column, this does not seem
possible with DataGridView.

Handle the DataGridView.ColumnStateChanged event. The event passes an
instance of DataGridViewcolumnStateChangedEventArgs, which includes a
reference to the Column, as well as the type of state that has changed. You
can then set the Selected property of the Column to false.

Thanks had to use CellStateChanged to avoid selection of individual cells,
but that worked perfectly.
