How to move gridview selected row up/down on KeyUp or Keydown press

How to move gridview selected row up/down on KeyUp or Keydown press



enter image description here



  1. The user selects one row
  2. there will be up arrow and down arrow.
  3. If the user wants to move up, the user clicks up arrow button
  4. If the user wants to move down, then the user clicks down arrow button
  5. if the row is at the top then up arrow button becomes disabled
step 1:- Goto Gridveiew1 event properties and select KeyUp property 

try the below code it will work fine,you can see I have separated the move up and down methods, so if you want to use the button clicked events instead of key up and key down event, you can call them when needed.

private void dataGridView1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode.Equals(Keys.Up))
        {
            moveUp();
        }
        if (e.KeyCode.Equals(Keys.Down))
        {
            moveDown();
        }
        e.Handled = true;
    }

    private void moveUp()
    {
        if (dataGridView1.RowCount > 0)
        {
            if (dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
            {
                int rowCount = dataGridView1.Rows.Count;
                int index = dataGridView1.SelectedCells[0].OwningRow.Index;

                if (index == 0)
                {
                    return;
                }
                DataGridViewRowCollection rows = dataGridView1.Rows;

                // remove the previous row and add it behind the selected row.
                DataGridViewRow prevRow = rows[index - 1];
                rows.Remove(prevRow);
                prevRow.Frozen = false;
                rows.Insert(index, prevRow);
                dataGridView1.ClearSelection();
                dataGridView1.Rows[index - 1].Selected = true;
            }
        }
    }

    private void moveDown()
    {
        if (dataGridView1.RowCount > 0)
        {
            if (dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
            {
                int rowCount = dataGridView1.Rows.Count;
                int index = dataGridView1.SelectedCells[0].OwningRow.Index;

                if (index == (rowCount - 2)) // include the header row
                {
                    return;
                }
                DataGridViewRowCollection rows = dataGridView1.Rows;

                // remove the next row and add it in front of the selected row.
                DataGridViewRow nextRow = rows[index + 1];
                rows.Remove(nextRow);
                nextRow.Frozen = false;
                rows.Insert(index, nextRow);
                dataGridView1.ClearSelection();
                dataGridView1.Rows[index + 1].Selected = true;
            }
        }
    }
