When right clicking on the empty part of a DataGridView in C# (clicking on a part of the grid that contains no rows) the context menu still appears with it's row based options. How can I only have the context menu appear when the click falls over a row?
This is as far as I have gotten:
private void f_context_select_row(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
var hti = jobs_datagrid.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
if (hti.RowIndex >= 0)
{
jobs_datagrid.ClearSelection();
jobs_datagrid.Rows[hti.RowIndex].Selected = true;
}
else
{
//what can I do here to collapse the context menu?
}
}
}
I am programatically building the Datagrid and context menu like this:
//on right click select row
jobs_datagrid.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(f_context_select_row);
//generate context menu
ContextMenuStrip m = new ContextMenuStrip();
ToolStripMenuItem context_datagrid_run = new ToolStripMenuItem("Run All Selected Campaigns");
ToolStripMenuItem context_datagrid_edit = new ToolStripMenuItem("Edit This Campaign");
ToolStripMenuItem context_datagrid_delete = new ToolStripMenuItem("Delete This Campaign");
context_datagrid_delete.Click += f_context_datagrid_delete;
context_datagrid_run.Click += f_run_selected_campaigns;
context_datagrid_edit.Click += f_context_datagrid_edit;
m.Items.Add(context_datagrid_delete);
m.Items.Add(context_datagrid_run);
m.Items.Add(context_datagrid_edit);
jobs_datagrid.ContextMenuStrip = m;
splitContainer3.Panel2.Controls.Add(jobs_datagrid);
what about the ContextMenuStrip.Opening
event?
private void contextMenuStrip1_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
var cms = sender as ContextMenuStrip;
var mousepos = Control.MousePosition;
if (cms != null)
{
var rel_mousePos = cms.PointToClient(mousepos);
if (cms.ClientRectangle.Contains(rel_mousePos))
{
//the mouse pos is on the menu ...
//looks like the mouse was used to open it
var dgv_rel_mousePos = dataGridView1.PointToClient(mousepos);
var hti = dataGridView1.HitTest(dgv_rel_mousePos.X, dgv_rel_mousePos.Y);
if (hti.RowIndex == -1)
{
// no row ...
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
else
{
//looks like the menu was opened without the mouse ...
//we could cancel the menu, or perhaps use the currently selected cell as reference...
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
}
