Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example prints the clicked part of the grid by calling the HitTest method from within the MouseDown event of a System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid control. This returns a DataGrid.HitTestInfo object.

[Visual Basic] 
Protected Sub dataGrid1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
    Dim newLine As String = ControlChars.Cr
    Console.WriteLine(newLine)
    Dim myHitTest As System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestInfo
    ' Use the DataGrid control's HitTest method with the x and y properties.
    myHitTest = dataGrid1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
    Console.WriteLine(("Hit " & ReturnHitTest(myHitTest.Type)))
End Sub 'dataGrid1_MouseDown


Private Function ReturnHitTest(hit As System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType) As String
    ' Use this function to return the part of the grid clicked.   
    Select Case hit
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell
                Return "Cell"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.Caption
                Return "Caption"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnHeader
                Return "ColumnHeader"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize
                Return "Resize"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.ParentRows
                Return "ParentRows"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.RowHeader
                Return "RowHeader"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.RowResize
                Return "RowResize"
        
        Case System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.None
                Return "None"
        
        Case Else
                Return "Unknown"
    End Select
End Function 'ReturnHitTest
