Hi,

I have this code (below) to make sure when a user clicks a cell in a gridview, it takes the values $Computer and $User. This works fine for a mouse click but not for a right mouse click (tried mouse down, cell mouse down but nothing works), please advise. When a user click left mouse a text appears with computername and username, right mouse nothing happens.

$datagridviewComputer_CellClick = [System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventHandler]{
try
{
$Global:ComputerName = $datagridviewComputer.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value
$Global:UserName = $datagridviewComputer.CurrentRow.Cells[1].Value
Add-Logs -text "Your selection: Computer $ComputerName and User $UserName"
}

There is no "Right-Click" in a DGV. The right mouse is dedicated to the context menu.

Ok, so that leaves me fully in the dark. What is the way to make it work then?

Make what work? To click a cell just event the "CellContentClick" event. Look at the events under the DGV.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. [Codebox=powershell file=Untitled.ps1]
2. $datagridview1_CellContentClick=[System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventHandler]{
3. #Event Argument: $_ = [System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs]
4.    
5. }

[/Codebox]

To capture right click you can capture the MouseDown event like this:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $datagridview1_MouseDown=[System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler]{
2. #Event Argument: $_ = [System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs]
3.     Write-Host $_.Button
4. }

MouseDown was all I need, thanks!
It captures as well left mouse as right mouse actions.
Got rid of other mouseactions.
