To make the AddNew row the active row when the program runs, use the AllowAddNew property, and the MoveLast and Select methods.

Complete the following steps:

1. Set the AllowAddNew property to True either in the Properties window or by adding the following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.AllowAddNew = True

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   this.c1TrueDBGrid1.AllowAddNew = true;

2. Move to the last record in the grid by adding following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.MoveLast()

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   this.c1TrueDBGrid.MoveLast();

3. Move to the AddNew row by adding following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Row = Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Row + 1

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Row = this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Row + 1;

4. Set focus to the grid by adding following code to the Form_Load event:

   To write code in Visual Basic

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Select()

   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Select();
