DataGridView Double Click

[NSNewey]

Hi,

I have a DGV which when double clicked opens the selected record.

The problem is that the double click event fires when you double click the column divider to auto size it.

I need to separate the DGV double click event from the Column divider double click event so the user can auto size the column in the usual way without opening the selected record.

Any ideas?

You could check the RowIndex property to see if the double-click is in the grid content area:

    Private Sub myDgv_CellContentDoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles myDgv.CellContentDoubleClick
        If (e.RowIndex >= 0) Then
           ' Process the row
        End If
    End Sub

I'm pretty sure one of the gurus on this site helped me with this a wile ago. You have to set up a DateTime variable to track when you click the mouse.
[code/]Private gridMouseDownTime As DateTime[/code] Then setup a grid mouse down handler. Set the value of this variable in the handler. [code/]gridMouseDownTime = DateTime.Now[/code] I then setup a textbox mouse down handler for the grid textboxes. It compares the current DateTime to then gridMouseDownTime plus the system double click time. This should simulate a double click. I use the following code to execute my DoubleClickhandler.[code/]If (DateTime.Now < gridMouseDownTime.AddMilliseconds(SystemInformation.DoubleClickTime)) Then
DoubleClickhandler(sender)
End If
[/code] You can also check for other stuff in the textbox mouse down. I look for right clicks and display the notes field form the selected row in it's own form. Maybe one of the experts here has a better method, but this seems to work for me.
