VB.NET and datagrids (windows not web)

[Marie]

Hello,
I have a question about the datagrid control in VB.NET. In VB6 I used to
be able to tell what row (if any) was selected in a grid. I mean that a row
was itself highlighted. In VB.NET it appears that whatever one has the arrow
in the row header column is the one selected, even if it is not hightlighted.
Since that arrow is always there, the code is always saying that a record
is selected. The problem is, I have a button that I want to enable/disable
depending on whether a row is selected. Does anyone have any hints on how
to use this control?!
Thanks,
Marie

The Winforms FAQ has lots of hints for the control:

If it doesn't answer your question directly, you'll often at least get a
clue as to what to fiddle with....

Good Luck!
