vb.net DataGridView w/ checkBox selects row

[Homerboy]

I ahve a Datagridview in a VB.net where the 1st column is a check box.
I'd like it so that when the checkbox is checked, he row is selected.
Obviously, if the checkbox is unchecked, then the row should un-select.

I think this can be accomplished witha "CellValueChanged" event (if there is a better one, let me know). But I'm drawing a blank on how to actually highlight the row that the checkbox is located in...

Public Sub dataGridView1_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
        ByVal e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) _
        Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged

        If DataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = "Column1" Then
          
'how do I select the row ?!?!


        End If
    End Sub

Change the background color of the row?

Change the background color of the row?

That doesn't "select" the row though.

I just realized as well, that I have to "commit" the changes when a check box is checked. have to figure that out as well.

Simple

    myDataGridView.Rows(index).Selected = True

 

[Homerboy]

Simple

    myDataGridView.Rows(index).Selected = True

But how do I get "index" = to the row number that is checked?

'm still not sure how to commit the changes to the dataGrid either.

It looks like this person did something similar. Except instead of saving a value in the database you can just change the RowColor or set selected.

You'll also want to set DataGridView1.FullRowSelect = true

Or maybe I am thinking ListView, my WinForms is rusty.
