I have a datagridview with some row that I want only to display. Which is
fine cause I make them readonly. But I would like that you can't land in
those cells as well. Is this possible?

A control with an tabindex value of minus one (-1) is passed over in the tab
sequence.

Is there a way you can put this in as an attribute for the control?

tabindex="-1"

I understand that each control has a tabindex. But in this case wouldn't the
control be the DataGridView itself, not the individual cells? I don't want
to avoid focus to any of the DataGridView cells but to certain columns.

You heed to handle either ItemDataBound or PreRender event. In the event
handler you can access individual rows and their cells. Set Enabled=false
for the cells you want to disable.
