To get current cell

[Sandeep]

Hi,
I want to get the current cell of the databoundgrid.
There is currentcell property which gives me current cell only if I click that cell. But if I click/rightclick on the fixed row/column I dont get the exact value. I get only the previous cell values.
Like suppose I click on the header whose rowindex is 0. then I should get the rowindex and column index of it. Is there any way I can get it.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
I will tell you want I want to do.

I have attached context menu to the grid. But I want to display the context menu only if user clicks the cell and not the header or the left fixed column. Right now it displays context menu if I click anywhere on the grid.

Please provide me solution.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep ,

By default, The current cell gets activated after clicking on it ( Because of the default ActivateCurrentCellBehavior property setting of the grid). If you want to set the currentcell as a clicked cell, you need to use the CurrentCell.MoveTo method in CellClick/CellDoubleClick event. Here is a code snippet.

//Cellclick event
this.grid.CurrentCell.MoveTo(e.RowIndex,e.ColIndex);

Hi Sandeep,

You can handle the MouseUp event of the GridControl and conditionally display a context menu for the grid cells. Here is a code snippet.

private void gridControl1_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if( e.Button == MouseButtons.Right )
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
Point pt = new Point(e.X,e.Y);
int row,col;
grid.PointToRowCol(pt,out row,out col);
if(row > 0 && col > 0)
this.contextMenu1.Show(this.gridControl1,pt);
}
}
