DataGridView::CellMouseEnter Event

 

Occurs when the mouse pointer enters a cell.

Namespace:   System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

public:
event DataGridViewCellEventHandler^ CellMouseEnter {
	void add(DataGridViewCellEventHandler^ value);
	void remove(DataGridViewCellEventHandler^ value);
}

For more information about handling events, see NIB: Consuming Events.

The following code example shows a CellMouseEnter event handler in a Tic-Tac-Toe game implementation that uses image columns in a DataGridView control. The event handler uses the cell value to determine the cursor and ToolTip to display.

This code is part of a larger example shown in How to: Work with Image Columns in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

void dataGridView1_CellMouseEnter( Object^ sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs^ e )
{
   Bitmap^ markingUnderMouse = dynamic_cast<Bitmap^>(dataGridView1->Rows[ e->RowIndex ]->Cells[ e->ColumnIndex ]->Value);
   if ( markingUnderMouse == blank )
   {
      dataGridView1->Cursor = Cursors::Default;
   }
   else
   if ( markingUnderMouse == o || markingUnderMouse == x )
   {
      dataGridView1->Cursor = Cursors::No;
      ToolTip(e,true);
   }
}

void ToolTip( DataGridViewCellEventArgs^ e, bool showTip )
{
   DataGridViewImageCell^ cell = dynamic_cast<DataGridViewImageCell^>(dataGridView1->Rows[ e->RowIndex ]->Cells[ e->ColumnIndex ]);
   DataGridViewImageColumn^ imageColumn = dynamic_cast<DataGridViewImageColumn^>(dataGridView1->Columns[ cell->ColumnIndex ]);
   if ( showTip )
         cell->ToolTipText = imageColumn->Description;
   else
   {
      cell->ToolTipText = String::Empty;
   }
}

void dataGridView1_CellMouseLeave( Object^ sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs^ e )
{
   ToolTip( e, false );
   dataGridView1->Cursor = Cursors::Default;
}
