Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
DataGridView..::.HitTestInfo Class

Contains information, such as the row and column indexes, about a specific coordinate pair in the DataGridView control. This class cannot be inherited.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class HitTestInfo
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As DataGridView.HitTestInfo
C#
public sealed class HitTestInfo
Visual C++
public ref class HitTestInfo sealed
JScript
public final class HitTestInfo

The HitTest method of the DataGridView class returns a DataGridView..::.HitTestInfo. You can use this method to determine which part of the DataGridView control is located at the specified coordinates. For example, you can call this method specifying the coordinates of a mouse click to determine the row and column indexes of the clicked cell or whether a header cell or scroll bar was clicked.

The following code example illustrates the use of this type. This example is part of a larger example available in the DataGridView..::.Columns property reference topic.

Visual Basic
Private clickedCell As DataGridViewCell

Private Sub dataGridView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles dataGridView1.MouseDown

    ' If the user right-clicks a cell, store it for use by the 
    ' shortcut menu.
    If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
        Dim hit As DataGridView.HitTestInfo = _
            dataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
        If hit.Type = DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell Then
            clickedCell = _
                dataGridView1.Rows(hit.RowIndex).Cells(hit.ColumnIndex)
        End If
    End If

End Sub

C#
    private DataGridViewCell clickedCell;

    private void dataGridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
    // If the user right-clicks a cell, store it for use by the shortcut menu.
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
        {
            DataGridView.HitTestInfo hit = dataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
            if (hit.Type == DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell)
            {
                clickedCell =
                    dataGridView1.Rows[hit.RowIndex].Cells[hit.ColumnIndex];
            }
        }
    }
