Translating mouse location from datacell to datagridcontrol

[User (Old forums)]

#17318 |

Is there a way to translate the mouse coordinates returned when handling the MouseUp (or similar) event for the datacell object to a mouse coordinate applicable to the datagridcontrol? I’m needing this to help with proper display location of the context menu. With datacell not being a Windows form control I can’t use the PointToScreen/PointToClient methods.

 

I’m using VB.NET. I’d prefer to handle certain datacell Mouse events in order to display a context menu instead of applying a context menu to the entire datagridcontrol and then controlling when to show or not to show the context menu. If my approach doesn’t suit the Xceed grid control well, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Mark

I think I found an answer myself using the Bounds property on the datacell object, which gives me coordinates as they relate to the grid control.

Hi Mark,

Can you please share the source code for displaying the context menu using datacell Mouse events as a reference to other developers?

Thanks,
