<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.Row.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_Row">Row</a> and <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.Col.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_Col">Col</a> properties to make a cell current or to find 
out which row or column contains the current cell. Columns and rows are 
numbered from zero, beginning at the top for rows and at the left for columns.</p>
<p>The <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.Col.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_Col">Col</a> property may be set to -1 to hide the selection, to a value
between zero and Cols.Fixed-1 to select a cell in a fixed column, or to a value between 
Cols.Fixed and Cols.Count-1 to select a cell in a scrollable column.</p>
<p>Setting the Row and Col properties automatically collapses the selection to a 
single cell, resetting the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.RowSel.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_RowSel">RowSel</a> and <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.ColSel.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ColSel">ColSel</a> properties. 
To specify a block selection, you must set Row and Col, then RowSel and ColSel. Alternatively,
you can use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.Select.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_Select_C1_Win_FlexGrid_CellRange_System_Boolean_">Select(CellRange, bool)</a> method to select an arbitrary range with a single statement.</p>
<p>Setting the Row and Col properties does not ensure that the current cell is visible.
To do that, use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.ShowCell.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ShowCell_System_Int32_System_Int32_">ShowCell(int, int)</a> method.</p>
