Hi,
I have a datagridview with a few rows. I want to refrain user from clicking the white spaces (empty area after rows)

Or at least I could catch when user clicks the empty area, so a message could be displayed.

Please advise how to do it.

Thanks

If you are talking about the empty area inside the grid after rows then set AutoSizeColumnsMode property of grid to FILL. then columns will be auto sized to gridview width.

If you are talking about an empty cell then -

VB

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellClick
    Dim MyVal As String = DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(e.ColumnIndex).Value.ToString
    If String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(MyVal) Then
        MsgBox("You click on empty cell")
    End If
End Sub
