Examples

The following code example uses the GetCellBounds method to return a Rectangle of a specified cell.

private:
   void dataGrid1_MouseDown( Object^ sender, MouseEventArgs^ e )

      // Use the HitTest method to get a HitTestInfo object.
      System::Windows::Forms::DataGrid::HitTestInfo^ hi;
      DataGrid^ grid = dynamic_cast<DataGrid^>(sender);
      hi = grid->HitTest( e->X, e->Y );
      
      // Test if the clicked area was a cell.
      if ( hi->Type == DataGrid::HitTestType::Cell )
      {
         
         // If it's a cell, get the GridTable and CurrencyManager of the
         // clicked table.
         DataGridTableStyle^ dgt = dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ];

        If hi.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell Then
            ' If it's a cell, get the GridTable and CurrencyManager of the
            ' clicked table.

Remarks

To retrieve the cell bounds for the currently selected cell, use GetCurrentCellBounds.
