Deselect text when right-click DGV cell

[robertybob]

Hi

I have implemented a right-click event on DGV cells. However if the text in the cell is being edited (ie, has a cursor or selected text) the right-click event doesn't fire and the standard context menu appears instead.

Is there a way to force the firing of the event rather than the context?

I've tried everything from ClearSelections (), EndEdit(), CurrentCell = Nothing etc on noting the right-click and nothing works.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you think of Leave? You could put an

If Then

statement in your Right Click event that handles if that DGV cell has focus, and if so, then try to call your Leave or .CellLeave method. (Note: .CellLeave is for .NET 4.5 and later.)
