DataGridView KeyDown manipulation (enter, left, right, etc.) not working when multiselect
c#,winforms,datagridview,multi-select
In your GridNavigation method, under both conditions, if (keys == Keys.Enter || keys == Keys.Right) and else if (keys == Keys.Left), the guilty party here is the recurring line: dataGridView1.Rows[iRow].Cells[i].Selected = true; What went wrong? When dataGridView1.MultiSelect == false the above line effectively sets the current cell, not just the...
Using Invoke() to show Form from Threading.Time() thread
c#,.net,multithreading,winforms,.net-3.5
When you call MainForm.Invoke you're telling the form to schedule the operation provided to be run from the application loop the form is running in. When you're calling that method your form has no application loop, and as such there's nothing to run the operation that you've scheduled, so it...

Difference between OnClosing and Form_Closing or OnLoad and Form_Load
This is the recommended pattern for implementing events. Each Event Foo has a corresponding protected method OnFoo. The method is responsible for triggering the event.
