Hi All,

I want to call GridView_CellClick() in another button click event.

VB

Private Sub ContextGridView_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles ContextGridView.CellClick

End Sub

I dont know how to pass the arguments to GridView_CellClick() when calling it in button click event.

I got the following exception when I tried.

VB

Public Sub bt_CreateName_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bt_CreateName.Click

ContextGridView_CellClick(sender, e)

End sub

Unable to cast object of type 'System.EventArgs' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs'.

Please Help.

Thanks in advance!

Don't do that!

If some part of code should work in both events: Button_Click event and DataGridView_CellClick, move it into another function/procedure.

VB

Private Sub DoSomething(CurrentDGVCell As Integer)
'here your code
End Sub

then call like this:

VB

Private Sub ContextGridView_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles ContextGridView.CellClick
    DoSomething(GetCurrentDGVCell)
End Sub

Public Sub bt_CreateName_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bt_CreateName.Click
    DoSomething(GetCurrentDGVCell)
End sub
