What event shall I use in a DataGridView considering that the DataGridView is full of data and when I click a row of data automatically I would like to retrieve all the data. I've tried using the event CellContentClick but it is only activated when I select a column data instead of a row
private void dtSearch_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
}
I have used the following to good effect. I handle the MouseDown event for the DataGridView and set the full row to be highlighted so that it is obvious it has been selected (unless of course you already have your full rows being selected).
private void dtSearch_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
// Get the cell that was clicked from the location of the mouse pointer
DataGridView.HitTestInfo htiSelectedCell = dtSearch.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
// Make sure that a cell was clicked, and not the column or row headers
// or the empty area outside the cells. If it is a cell,
// then select the entire row, set the current cell (to move the arrow to
// the current row)
//if (htiSelectedCell.Type == DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell)
if (htiSelectedCell.Type == DataGridViewHitTestType.RowHeader)
{
// do stuff here
}
}
}
Try using the CellClick event, and loop through the columns retrieving the row values you want:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.dataGridView1.CellClick += new DataGridViewCellEventHandler(dataGridView1_CellClick);
}
public void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
List<object> values = new List<object>();
int cols = this.dataGridView1.Columns.Count;
for (int col = 0; col < cols; col++)
{
values.Add(this.dataGridView1[col, e.RowIndex].Value);
}
}
