Every time a form is loaded, I create a datagrid with two columns. The problem is that the first cell in the first column is automatically selected and blue. Setting the datagrid ReadOnly-property to False doesn't help. I found that setting the datagrid.Enabled=False helps, but then the scrollbars (which i need) won't work.

How can I make the whole datagrid sort of non-clickable and non-selectable, so that the user can't set focus to the cells, and also the first cell isn't selected when the form is loaded, but the datagrid is still scrollable?

I dont use DataGRid any more, but you can try the ReadOnly property, and also the properties to set the selection foreground and background colors

I already tried it but the first cell is still selectable and it's still painted as gray and blue

How can I make the datagrid have no currentcell

Thanks for the tip but it doesn't work. Any other solutions?

The pointer of the datagrid ALWAYS selects the row it points at.
So you may "unselect" the row as far as removing the highlight color,
but the row remains selected. I don't see any way to truly unselect a row since there is always a pointer present. Maybe DataGrid is not your best choice for your task?
