DataGridView Right Click Select

[schwarem]

How do I get the datagridview to select the row the mouse is one when you right click on the row. I want to open a context menu based on the row clicked on.

Assuming you have a DataGridView dgv1 and an accompanying BindingSource bs1 then

	Private Sub SelectDGVRow(ByVal Row As Integer)

		bs1.Position = Row
		dgv1.Rows(Row).Selected = True

	End Sub

	Private Sub dgv1_RowHeaderMouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles dgv1.RowHeaderMouseClick

		If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
			SelectDGVRow(e.RowIndex)
		End If

	End Sub

	Private Sub dgv1_CellMouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles dgv1.CellMouseClick

		If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
			SelectDGVRow(e.RowIndex)
		End If

	End Sub

This allows for Right-Clicking either a RowHeader or a Cell

Hope this helps.

The cellMouseClick event only fires when you left click on the mouse. It doesn't fire when you right click.

I used Cell.MouseDown. It works fine.
