Question

Could anyone please help with this?

I have a DataGridView with three columns and one button column.

If I click on the button column, then all values in that row should be transferred to another form.

Note : I have already implemented the following click event handler:

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
}

Is there an alternative other than using the cell click event?

Many Thanks…..

Answer 1

Try the CellContentClick event.

This event occurs when the cell content is clicked. It also occurs when the user presses and releases the SPACEBAR while a button cell or check box cell has focus, and will occur twice for these cell types if the cell content is clicked while pressing the SPACEBAR.

Edit: The CellContentClick event provides a DataGridViewCellEventArgs parameters, which contains the exact column and row clicked. From that link I provided, I can put together a short example. I’m assuming the values you want to pass are strings and are in columns 2, 3 and 4 (indexes 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Note, this isn’t tested!

if (DataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex] is DataGridViewButtonColumn && cellEvent.RowIndex != -1)
{
    DataRow currRow = DataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex];
    SendValuesSomewhereElse(Convert.ToString(currRow[1]), Convert.ToString(currRow[2]), Convert.ToString(currRow[3]));
}
