Question

I have a contextMenu on a DataGridView.

It shows options for manipulating with selectedRow.

User must have leftClick – to selecet a row – and then rightClick – to open contextMenu.

I want to omit leftClic, i.e. – select a dgvRow by rightClick and at the same time – open contextMenu.

Is it possible ?

Answer 1

here you go try this.

add to your datagridview_MouseDown event

    private void dgvPermit_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        DataGridView dgv = (DataGridView)sender;
        DataGridView.HitTestInfo Hti;
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
        {
            Hti = dgv.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
            if (Hti.Type == DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell)
            {
                if (!((DataGridViewRow)(dgv.Rows[Hti.RowIndex])).Selected)
                {
                    dgv.ClearSelection();
                    ((DataGridViewRow)dgv.Rows[Hti.RowIndex]).Selected = true;
                }
            }
        }

    }
