If the grid isn't databound then you will have to write some code that manually loops through the rows looking for your data. Using the BindingSource.Find method will return you a row index. Use that value and set the DataGridView's CurrentCell like so: dataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.Rows[rowIndexFromFind].Cells[0]; ============================================================== private void dataGridView1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (Char.IsLetter(e.KeyChar)) { for (int i = 0; i < (dataGridView1.Rows.Count); i++) { if (dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells["Name"].Value.ToString().StartsWith( e.KeyChar.ToString(), true, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)) { dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Selected = true; return; // stop looping } } } }
