Can´t get dataGrid.select to work properly

Question

All I want to highlight several rows at the same time in a datagrid as the user chooses with his mousebutton. I am using the following lines: System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti; hti = this.dataGrid1.HitTest(e.Xe.Y); this.dataGrid.Select(hti.Row); This works fine as long as the user doesn´t use his left mouseButton cause then everything that is highlighted disapears? Why doesn´t dataGrid.Select work when one is using the left mousebutton? I´m using the event dataGrid_MouseDown. Why is that? Thanks

Yes but You can override it. I use it.

As far as I knew DataGrid doesn't even support multiple selection...

Override OnMouseDown and select rows after calling base.OnMouseDown. The next trouble is with sorting. I don't know how to save selection against sorting by click the header.
