How to move focus to specific row or specific cell through code in WinForms GridControl?

Focus the grid cell

The focus can be moved to a particular cell or Row by using the CurrentCell.MoveTo method of the Grid.

//Sets focus to the particular cell.
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(2, 3, GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);

//Sets focus to the particular row.
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(GridRangeInfo.Row(4));

'Sets focus to the particular cell.
Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(2, 3, GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus)

'Sets focus to the particular row.
Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(GridRangeInfo.Row(4))

The following screenshot displays the focused cell.
