Question

I have the CurrentCellChanged event handler of a DataGridView and i want to be able to access the current selected cells column index from the event handler.

I used to have the code in the CellClick handler which has DataGridViewCellEventArgs as a parameter so i was able to get the column index from the event args parameter but the CurrentCellChanged event has EventArgs as parameters which i believe is supposed to imply that theres no data for this event.

Is there a way to access the new currently selected cells column index?

Use DataGridView.CurrentCell property ..

int columnIndex = dataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex;
int rowIndex = dataGridView.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
