  Hi!

  I have a context menu with the right-click mouse button on C1FlexGrid. When user right-clicks on the grid, before showing the context menu, I would like to make the cell under the mouse to be the current one. (I am in MouseRightButtonDown event, so I can get the mouse position from there).

  How to get the current cell (Row & Column) from a cursor position?

  Thanks,

  Hello Inexcon,

  You can use the HitTest method of the grid object and then with the help of HitTestInfo object, you can get a particular cell’s information in the grid.

  Here is what you can do :

  [csharp]private void c1flexgrid_MouseRightButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  if (c1flexgrid.HitTest(e.GetPosition(c1flexgrid)).CellType == C1.WPF.FlexGrid.CellType.Cell)
  
  {
  
  C1.WPF.FlexGrid.HitTestInfo hti = c1flexgrid.HitTest(e.GetPosition(c1flexgrid));
  
  MessageBox.Show("Row : " + hti.Row.ToString() + "Column : " + hti.Column.ToString());
  
  }
  
  }[/csharp]

  For more information about this method, please refer to the following documentation link :

  Hope it helps.

  Hi!

  I am not in WPF, I am in Silverlight. Does your solution works for Silverlight too?

  Hello Inexcon,

  Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

  Yes, the same solution works in case of C1FlexGrid for Silverlight as well. Please refer to the below modified code and the respective documentation link :
  
  [csharp]
  
  private void c1Flexgrid1_MouseRightButtonDown_1(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  if (c1Flexgrid1.HitTest(e.GetPosition(c1Flexgrid1)).CellType == C1.Silverlight.FlexGrid.CellType.Cell)
  
  {
  
  C1.Silverlight.FlexGrid.HitTestInfo hti = c1Flexgrid1.HitTest(e.GetPosition(c1Flexgrid1));
  
  MessageBox.Show("Row : " + hti.Row.ToString() + "Column : " + hti.Column.ToString());
  
  }
  
  }
  
  [/csharp]

  Hope it helps.

  I have the same situation, but my grid is C1TrueDBGrid – and there is no HitTest method for that grid. How do I figure out what row/column the right mouse click menu selection was invoked on ?
  
  thank you
