SelectionChange d is fired whenever the selection is changed at all. So, what you can do, is add an event handler for SelectionChange d. In this handler, check to see how many rows that are selected:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. if(dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 1)
  2. {
  3.   //code for multiple selected cells
  4. }
  5. else
  6. {
  7.   //code for 1 or 0 selected cells
  8. }

This could have been solved very easily if you had bothered to do any work looking for it.
Try actually LOOKING at your object, or even at MSDN

I am wondering how you guys highlight cells or rows (by changing the text or background colour) in a DataGridView. Right now, I apply styles to certain rows or cells in the CellFormatting even handler, but the way it works is by looping through all of the rows and then deciding if that rows needs special formatting. The problem is that I don't think this method will scale well. I have a dataset with 5,000 rows (and others are larger, this...

I have a DataGridView that has potentially several hundred rows (possibly a thousand or two). I'd like for each row to have the proper height to accomadate the text in the row. I tried setting the AutoSizeRowMode to AllCells. This worked great on small datasets, but the program hung for a long time on larger datasets. I changed it to DisplayedCells, but this has some quirks: All of the initally displayed rows are the correct height (for...

I'm having a really strange issue with the DataGridView control in a VS2008 / .NET 3.5 winforms project. I have a simple form with a grid. In the form constructor I call a function to bind the grind to a DataTable, and then loop through the rows setting the background colour of the last cell to LightGrey and the cell itself to read-only if the column value is true. After the form finishes loading the code didn't work i.e. the cells are not set...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
