How to get the coordinates of current cell in WinForms GridControl?
Position of current cell
To retrieve the co-ordinates of the current cell in WinForms GridControl, you can use the RangeInfoToRectangle() method. It converts the RangeInfo of the current cell to a rectangle-like object. Using this rectangle, you can get the co-ordinates like Top, Left, Height and Width.
C#
//Hook the MouseClick event to find the co-ordinates of the current cell.
this.gridControl1.MouseClick += gridControl1_MouseClick;
void gridControl1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
//Get CurrentCell from Grid.
GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell;
//Get the rectangular RangeInfo of CurrentCell.
Rectangle cellRect = this.gridControl1.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(cc.RowIndex, cc.ColIndex));
//Display the coordinates of the CurrentCell.
MessageBox.Show(cellRect.ToString());
}
VB
'Hook the MouseClick event to find the co-ordinates of the current cell. Private Me.gridControl1.MouseClick += AddressOf gridControl1_MouseClick Private Sub gridControl1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) 'Get CurrentCell from Grid. Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell 'Get the rectangular RangeInfo of CurrentCell. Dim cellRect As Rectangle = Me.gridControl1.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(cc.RowIndex, cc.ColIndex)) 'Display the coordinates of the CurrentCell. MessageBox.Show(cellRect.ToString()) End Sub
