How to Get a Cell's Grid Name?

Question

In my OnCellClick method, how can I get the name of the cell's datagrid. Presumably this can be derived from the event arguments (e), but I can't figure out how to get there.

I have multiple grids using the same onclick actions and I want to put the actions into a single method (with if/else logic) rather than creating a separate method for each grid.

I assume whatever solution you recommend will also work in my QueryRowStyle and QueryCellStyle events?

I am using C#.

Thank you.

Hi tradecode, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion products.  

You can get the name of the corresponding SfDataGrid in the CellClick event by using the sender argument as shown in the following code example.  

Code example :  





private void SfDataGrid1_CellClick(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.CellClickEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if((sender as SfDataGrid).Name =="sfDataGrid1") 
    { 
 
    } 
} 

You can use the same for QueryRowStyle and QueryCellStyle events. Please let us know if you require any other assistance from us.

Is there a way to let the same approach work the "CellButtonClickEventArgs" event as well?

For instance:private void SfDataGrid1_CellButtonClick(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.CellButtonClickEventArgs e) {     if((sender as SfDataGrid).Name =="sfDataGrid1")     {     } }

Hi Alison Tan,

You can achieve your requirement to get the SfDataGrid’s Name by using
the CellButtonClickEventArgs shown below,

this.sfDataGrid1.CellButtonClick += OnCellButtonClick;
  
  private void OnCellButtonClick(object sender, CellButtonClickEventArgs e)
  {
      SfDataGrid datagrid = ((e.Record as
  Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.DataRow).GetType().GetProperty("DataGrid",
  System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance |
  System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(e.Record as Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.DataRow) as SfDataGrid);
      if (datagrid.Name == "sfDataGrid1")
      {
   
      }
  }

We have prepared the sample based on your scenario. Please have a
look at this and revert us if you need further assistance with this.Regards,Dhanasekar M.
