My eventual workaround was just using the AfterRowActivate of the Grid and manually firing CurrentChanged on the bindingSource if the ActiveRow:Index is different from the current bindingSource:Position. This still doesn't work for the first row, so I check for that manually.

Thanks Mike..

Hi,

There is no one CurrencyManager that manages the current row at every level in the hierarchy. So you will have to get the CurrencyManager for each level of data. I have attached a small sample project here which demonstrates this.

EDIT:

The forums seem to be having a problem and I cannot attach a file right now. But I just bound a grid to a data source with two bands ("Band 0" and "Band 1") and here's the code:

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CurrencyManager rootCM = (CurrencyManager)this.ultraGrid1.BindingContext[this.ultraDataSource1, "Band 0"];
            rootCM.PositionChanged += new EventHandler(rootCM_PositionChanged);

            CurrencyManager childCM = (CurrencyManager)this.ultraGrid1.BindingContext[this.ultraDataSource1, "Band 0.Band 1"];
            childCM.PositionChanged += new EventHandler(childCM_PositionChanged);

        }        

        void rootCM_PositionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager)sender;
            Debug.WriteLine(cm.Position, "Root Position Changed");
        }

        void childCM_PositionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager)sender;
            Debug.WriteLine(cm.Position, "Child Position Changed");
        }

Mike, 

I am working with a multi-band grid, the CurrentChanged event on CurrencyManger getting fired only when I select the different parent band row, for example there are two groups (G1 and G2) and G1 has P1, P2 and P3 Products, and G2 has P4, P5 products. that is GroupList is band 1, ProductList is band 2.

Now let us say I selected P1, and then P2, CurrentChanged won't fire, but if I select either G2 or P4 or P5 i.e any row under the top band rows the CurrentChanged will fire.

How to fire the CurrentChanged on CurrencyManager even upon selecting P1, P2 or P3 i.e within the same parent group.

Thanks for your answer, I'll try to see how I can incorporate that for my code. It's just really awkward that the CurrencyManager automatically selects the first position, maybe there's a property to negate that (would like to keep the Sync).

If there is such a setting, I'm not aware of it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
