How to get CurrentCell location in DataGridView?

[Lennart Nielsen]

I can find the X and Y (column/row) coordinates, but not the actual location
(Left,Top) positions.

Any ideas?

You want the cell position ? X and Y coordinates ?
If it is that what u mean, u need to calculate the position using the DGV
left position + width of each cell

Ex:

If u need the position of cell nr 3... u need something like this:

position = dgv.left + dgv.rows(0).width + dgv.rows(1).width +
dgv.rows(2).width

If u don't want this, try explain better your problem.

You might be able to use the dataGridView1.GetCellDisplayRectangle
method to get the information you want.

Clay,

No, that just gives me the column and row index.

I have a DataGridView control called "Grd" and I need to know the bottom
left-hand pixel of the Selected Cell during Cell Editing, I use the
following in the "Grd.CellBeginEdit" and it works perfectly -

Dim X As Integer = Grd.GetCellDisplayRectangle(e.ColumnIndex,
e.RowIndex, False).Left + Grd.Left
Dim Y As Integer = Grd.GetCellDisplayRectangle(e.ColumnIndex,
e.RowIndex, False).Bottom + Grd.Top

You can play with different Properties such as Right, Top etc. Remember
that your DataGridView control is sitting inside a container (either a
Form or maybe a Layout control, or maybe both!) so you must allow for
the position of the DataGridView control in your calculations, which is
why I use "Grd.Top" and "Grd.Left".

Hope this helps.

Indeed, Clay and ShaneO, you are both correct. I had a brain melt and did
not look for the properties of GetCellDisplayRectangle. Sorry for doubting
you!

Thanks!
