CellContentClick event

CellContentClick event

• Dyson47

  If the name of your Tracking_List_Entry_Form is the name of your second form, you have to do this:

  Just below the Main form's Class name ( like Public Class Form1 ) add this:

  Dim TrackingList as New Tracking_List_Entry_Form

  Then, in your Catalog_FormDataGridView_CellContentClick event call it like this:

  TrackingList.Show()

  Confusing I know, but, you have to Create a new instance of the second form to show it. Hope this helps.

  For those that might be interested, I figured out the correct code to make this work:

  Public Class Catalog_Form
  Dim TrackingList As New Tracking_List_Entry_Form
  Friend WithEvents Tracking_List_ButtonColumn As
  System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewButtonColumn
  
  Private Sub getCurrentCellButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
  System.EventArgs) Handles CatalogDataGridView.Click

  Dim msg As String = String.Format("Row: {0}, Column: {1}",
  CatalogDataGridView.CurrentCell.RowIndex, CatalogDataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex)

  'Column Index number 6 is the column that contains the button column
  If CatalogDataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex = 6 Then
  TrackingList.Show()
  Else
  End If
  End Sub
  End Class

  Christopher:

  I tried that code and nothing happens when I click on the button. Here is the code I have. I tried using both CellClick and CellContentClick and neither works.

  Private Sub Catalog_FormDataGridView_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles Catalog_FormDataGridView.CellContentClick
  If Catalog_FormDataGridView.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = "Tracking_List_Button" Then
  MessageBox.Show("Button Clicked")
  End If
  End Sub

  What could I be missing I've double-checked the name of the column so I'm pretty sure that the name is correct.

  Hello John...heres an example straight out of an MSDN article

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

  ' Create a button column.

  Dim Details As New DataGridViewButtonColumn()

  Details.Name = "Details"

  ' Turn off data-binding and show static text.

  ' (You could use a property from the table by setting

  ' the DataPropertyName property instead.)

  Details.Text = "Details..."

  ' Clear the header.

  Details.HeaderText = ""

  ' Add the column.

  DataGridView1.Columns.Insert( _

  DataGridView1.Columns.Count, Details)

  End Sub

  Private Sub DataGridView1_CellClick( _

  ByVal sender As System.Object, _

  ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms. _

  DataGridViewCellEventArgs) _

  Handles DataGridView1.CellClick

  If DataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = _

  "Details" Then

  MessageBox.Show("Button Clicked")

  End If

  End Sub

  Well I almost got it.  I clicked on the DataGridView in design view and in the Properties window I clicked on the Events tab and entered Catalog_FormDataGridView_CellContentClick for the CellContentClick event.  Then the only code I used in the Private Sub Catalog_FormDataGridView_CellContentClick section was MsgBox("Hi").  When I clicked on the button, the message appeared.  So I thought I had it solved.  But the message also came up whenever I clicked on any of the other cells.  So I added the following code back that was suggested in a previous post to try to isolate only the ButtonColumn named Tracking_List_Button:

  If Catalog_FormDataGridView.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = "Tracking_List_Button" Then
       MsgBox("Hi")
  End If

  Now, when I click on the button, I get a "NullReferenceException was not handled - Object reference not set to an instance of an object" for the If line.  Is there another way for me to handle the CellContentClick event for just that one column

  Try it the other way round (it ensures your column name is correct...)

  If Catalog_FormDataGridView.Columns("Tracking_List_Button").Index = e.ColumnIndex Then
