DataGrid - Right Click Row Select

[Mongr1l]

Hello.

Can any finish the following code?

Private Sub dataGrid1_MouseUp(byval sender as System.Object, byval e as System.EventArgs) handles dataGrid1.MouseUp

  If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right then

  '''''''''' Code that selects the grid row the mouse    cursor is currently over ''''''''''''''''


  End if
End Sub

I'm using Dot Net 1.1. And I'm using their generic data grid. (I know. It sucks. Buy a real one).

Thanks in advance

In case you're wondering why, I'm trying implement a context menu that lets the user delete a selected record.

This is ok if the record selected is the same one the cursor happens to be over.

Ok, I think I'm close. I found how to select a row by right clicking the Data grid.

It goes as follows:

Private Sub dataGrid1_MouseUp(byval sender as System.Object, byval e as System.EventArgs) handles dataGrid1.MouseUp



  If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right then
    Dim pt = New Point(e.x, e.y)
    Dim hti as DataGrid.HitTestInfo = dataGrid1.HitTest(pt)

    dataGrid1.CurrentCell = New DataGridCell(hti.row, hti.column)
    dataGrid1.Select(hti.Row)

  End if
End Sub

This does select the row the mouse is over. However, now I have new problem: The context menu pops up *before* the row is selected.

I'm thinking maybe I ought to use a mouse down or mouse hover event... possibly giving my grid a "rollover" effect, which I'm not sure I want.

Suggestions?

Ok, I solved it.

The solution is as to use the grid mouse down event.
