Selecting a cell at the time of Selecting a row in DataGridView C#

Whenever a row is selected in DataGridView, I want a particular cell to be selected instead of while row being selected and also the cursor should start blinking in the cell for input.

You can use RowEnter and CellBeginEdit events to achieve this.

RowEnter

private void dataGridView1_RowEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{     
  //Set the selection mode to cell
  dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;

  //When a row is selected always select the cell in index 1
  dataGridView1[1, e.RowIndex].Selected = true;
}

CellBeginEdit

When a row is selected and user start typing always first cell is being edited, We can set the cell to be edited by setting CurrentCell property.

private void dataGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
   //set the current cell to be edited to cell in index 1
   dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[1, e.RowIndex];
}

You can get the location like this

  private void tableLayoutPanel1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        int row = 0;
        int verticalOffset = 0;
        foreach (int h in tableLayoutPanel1.GetRowHeights())
        {
            int column = 0;
            int horizontalOffset = 0;
            foreach(int w in tableLayoutPanel1.GetColumnWidths())
            {
                Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(horizontalOffset, verticalOffset, w, h);
                if(rectangle.Contains(e.Location))
                {
                    Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("row {0}, column {1} was clicked", row, column));
                    return;
                }
                horizontalOffset += w;
                column++;
            }
            verticalOffset += h;
            row++;
        }
    }

You need to Change SelectionMode of DataGridView from FullRowSelect to CellSelect

Try This:

dataGridView1.SelectionMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;

if you want to edit the Cell selected just double click on the Cell to enter into EditMode

First , You should reference Selection Modes in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control !
And this is how to get the selected cell's value 

yourGridView.SelectedCells[0].Value.ToString()
