Prevent a DataGrid in Windows Form Getting Focus

Dear all,

How to prevent a datagrid in Windows form getting focus? Even user click on
it.

I use barcode scanner as input and display the result in a datagrid. My
problem is when the datagrid got focus, the scanner input will be discarded.
I cannot find any event to handle the input.

Thanks,

Tedmond

You can disable grids, which will not allow a user to do anything, but I am
not sure it stops click events from firing. As another option, consider
spinning the scanner on another thread to avoid any sort of focus loss
interference.

Hi all, I'm getting a bug with the datagrid object. I've created one from scratch, bound it to a dataview with 2 int32 columns and formatted the output as currency. I've found that when you use the F2 key to enter edit mode and then hit TAB or ESCAPE without actually editing the value, dotnet crashes with a null reference error.

I need some help programmatically causing a row in a DataGrid to "flush" its contents to its bound data (in Visual Studio 6 using Windows Forms with C#). My issue is I want to send an update to a database from a menu command while the user is editing a DataGrid. This is unusual in regard to examples and normal practice in that the cell of the DataGrid still has the focus. In all examples I can find, the user normally presses a button on...

Hi, I need a big help to resolve this problem. I need to put a usercontrol in a datagrid: this control check if the code inserted is present in a archive and if not return a error message. (In the example I have changed this check with a easy "if string is empty" ) Everything would be easy if the datagrid had a predictable behaviour. I explain my problem.

The LostFocus event of datagrids is fired when the focus is added to a cell. How do you go about detecting it when the control as a whole has lost focus to another control? Slightly confused by this! Greg.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
