[RESOLVED] Prevent DataGridView Select Row From Executing Cell Mouse Click Routines

[toecutter]

I have various routines that are executed when you click in a particular cell, how do i prevent the routines from executing when i click on the select row button on the far left of the DGV?

All the cell-related events of the DataGridView provide a ColumnIndex and a RowIndex. You test the ColumnIndex and don't do anything unless its the index of a column for which you want to do some processing.

Are you using CellContentClick or Mouse Events? the arguments are a bit different on either one

[toecutter]

DataGridView.CellEnter

since you mentioned it i did try "DataGridView.MouseEnter" but pretty much the same result

   Private Sub PaymentsDataGridView_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PaymentsDataGridView.MouseEnter

        If PaymentsDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells(2).Selected Then
            paymentsDescriptions.Show()
        End If
   End Sub

Odd, cellEnter should not be triggered when you select the row headers.

This seems to be the event to use

Private Sub PaymentsDataGridView_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles PaymentsDataGridView.CellContentClick

*EDIT
incorrect as will not fire cell events when there is no content in the cell

got it with this

      If PaymentsDataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex = (2) Then
                Dim intCurrentCol2 As Integer = Nothing
                Dim intCurrentRow2 As Integer = Nothing
                intCurrentCol2 = PaymentsDataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex
                intCurrentRow2 = PaymentsDataGridView.CurrentCell.RowIndex
                PaymentsDataGridView.Rows(intCurrentRow2).Cells(intCurrentCol2).Selected = True
                paymentsDescriptions.Show()
            End If
