In my implementation, I use the selected row of an UltraGrid to do some work.

I found that clicking a cell does NOT select the row so I wrote a simple OnClick handler of cells:
```cs
	private void epiUltraGridJobs_ClickCell(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ClickCellEventArgs args)
	{
		// ** Place Event Handling Code Here **
		// --- FORCE SELECTION OF ROW ON CLICK
		epiUltraGridJobs.Rows[args.Cell.Row.Index].Selected = true;

	}
```

That worked perfect until I started playing with grouping in the grid, now it doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

You can disable cell selection and force it to always select a row... use the google

Google is only helpful if you know what you are looking for :) Lucky for me you narrowed it down.
```cs
epiUltraGridJobs.DisplayLayout.Override.CellClickAction = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellClickAction.RowSelect;
```

And hooking a "system" control to hijack the handler? I need to fire an onTextChange event for a system epiTextBox. I thought about making a timer and copying contents into a custom textbox but it just seemed wrong.

You can hook a Field_changed event on the EpiDataView... you can also just add your own handler in code...

I can just add the handler?! I am so confused about what I can and can't do to a 'standard\default' control.

## Post #7 by @josecgomez

A standard control you can do whatver you want with it, just have to do it via code... use csm.GetNativeControlRef and then you get a standard object

So I **could** go and change any event handler for any control on any form? I am liking the chaos of this thought! Not sure where I came up with my current (mis)conception of these controls. I guess I just pieced it together from various posts.

On second though, I think maybe the Event Wizard may have added to my confusion.

Why do you always go to naughty places?

## Post #10 by @Chris_Conn

Haha - I already have a mess of code from orphaned code wizard stuff (and that's not even counting my own code mess)

I tried (for a minute) to figure out how to get things OFF of the Event list in the wizard

Which event are you setting the override?

## Post #12 by @Chris_Conn

I believe I used FormLoad
