How to Change Focus When Clicking a DataGrid Row
The Microsoft .Net framework allows programmers to rapidly produce applications for Web and desktop PC applications. The framework provides a rich tool set for developing graphical user interfaces (GUI). One such tool is the "DataGrid," which displays data in rows and columns. Users interact with the "DataGrid" by focusing on it. When a cell is focused on, it can be edited. Changing focus is a very easy thing to do and requires no programming knowledge.
