How to handle the activating or deactivating the current cell exception in WinForms GridControl?

Steps for handling the exception

When you try to add a row to the GridControl, it resets the CurrentCell which causes a problem at the middle of activating or deactivating the CurrentCell.

Solution

You can avoid this by working directly with the grid’s GridData object.

//add the row
this.gridControl1.Model.Data.RowCount += 1;

'add the row
Me.gridControl1.Model.Data.RowCount += 1

You can also achieve this by locking the CurrentCell before incrementing the RowCount and unlock after that.

//lock and unlock the cell while add the row
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.Lock();
this.gridControl1.RowCount += 1;
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.Unlock();

'lock and unlock the cell while add the row
Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.Lock()
Me.gridControl1.RowCount += 1
Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.Unlock()
