Hi
I want to display different ContextMenuStrips depending in which cell the user right-clicks. Since I'm using an unbound dgv I can't use the ContextMenuStripNeeded event (is this correct?) so I'm trying to just simple show the ContextMenuStrip programatically. My problem is that the DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs only return the location of the mouse with the current cell not within the dgv itself. Is there any way of getting the mouse position within the dgv when using the CellMouseClick event?
Cheers,
Pedro

I solved my problem by using the dgv mousedown event and then getting the cell by the HitTestInfo method in the dgv class. I can then use the mouse coordinates from the mousedown event to position the contextmenustrip.

I dont see a contextmenustripneeded event. I would use the datagridview's cellmousedown event and display the contextmenu with it's show command. |

I found this on MSDN: "The CellContextMenuStripNeeded event also occurs whenever the value of the DataGridViewCell.ContextMenuStrip property is retrieved, either programmatically or when the user right-clicks a cell." If I use the cellmousedown event, will that give me the mouse coordinates with respect to the dgv or with respect to the cell? Pedro |

The cell mouse down event gives you the rowindex, columnindex, mousebutton, x, and y coordinates. I see the CellContextMenuNeeded Event now but it does not seam to work with an unbound datagridview. The mouse coordinates are in cell. You can always use the forms or datagridview's mouseposition to get its location. |

It is with respect to the cell, as you can simply verify it using this code snippet.
| |
private void cell_mouse_down(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
this.label1.Text = e.X.ToString() + "," + e.Y.ToString();
}

Hi,
You can simply set the contextstripmenu to the specific cells.
e.g. | |
this.dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].ContextMenuStrip = this.contextMenuStrip1;
|
Change the index accordingly and therefore different contextmenustrip can be set according to the different index. |

I want the contextmenustrip to depend on the current value in the cell
so it must be set at runtime. I tried doing this in the CellMouse
Click event:
| |
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellMouseClick(sender as Object, e as DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellMouseClick
DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(e.ColumnIndex).ContextMenuStrip = ContextMenuStrip1
End Sub
|
The
problem though is that the CellMouseClick event seems to happen after
the contextmenustrip is shown. So I have to right click the cell twice,
the first time to set the contextmenustrip and the second time to show
it.
Does the CellMouseDown event happen before the contextmenustrip is shown?

Hello there,
I am actually trying to solve the same problem, capturing the mouse coordinates with respect to the grid view. I was wondering if you'd be able to post your solution(sample code) as to how you solved this problem.
Thanks,
