context menu for datagridview cell, rowheader and columnheader


Here's an example MouseDown event that does this. To try the sample drop a DataGridView and three ContentMenuStrips on a form. Name the ContentMenuStrips mnuCell, mnuRow and mnuColumn.

Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.MouseDown
    If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
        Dim ht As DataGridView.HitTestInfo
        ht = Me.DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
        If ht.Type = DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell Then
            DataGridView1.ContextMenuStrip = mnuCell
            mnuCell.Items(0).Text = String.Format("This is the cell at {0}, {1}", ht.ColumnIndex, ht.RowIndex)
        ElseIf ht.Type = DataGridViewHitTestType.RowHeader Then
            DataGridView1.ContextMenuStrip = mnuRow
            mnuRow.Items(0).Text = "This is row " + ht.RowIndex.ToString()
        ElseIf ht.Type = DataGridViewHitTestType.ColumnHeader Then
            DataGridView1.ContextMenuStrip = mnuColumn
            mnuColumn.Items(0).Text = "This is col " + ht.ColumnIndex.ToString()
        End If
    End If
End Sub
