Hi All

How do I get the screen coordinates of the selected cell boundaries in a
datagridview

I need to position a form at the top left position of the selected cell
regardless of where the user clicks in the cell


Regards
Steve
 
Hi Steve ,

Thanks for your post!

I think Ahmed has pointed out the correct direction.
me.DataGridView1.SelectedCells(0).ContentBounds will provide the bounding
rectangle that encloses the cell's content area. If you want to get the
rectangle that represents the display area for a cell, you may give
DataGridView.GetCellDisplayRectangle a try. Pass in the selected cell's row
and column index.

To get the screen coordinate, you may use DataGridView.PointToScreen method
to convert the location point.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
