datagridview cell click event

Solution 1
You will also need to check the cell clicked is not the column header cell. Like this:
private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex.Equals(3) && e.RowIndex != -1){
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell != null && dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value != null)
MessageBox.Show(dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value.ToString());
}
Solution 2
Check that CurrentCell.RowIndex
isn't the header row index.
Solution 3
private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (e.RowIndex == -1) return; //check if row index is not selected
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex.Equals(3))
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell != null && dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value != null)
MessageBox.Show(dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value.ToString());
}
Solution 4
The accepted solution throws an "object not set to an instance of an object" exception as null reference checking MUST happen before checking the actual value of a variable.
private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell == null ||
dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value == null ||
e.RowIndex == -1) return;
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex.Equals(3))
MessageBox.Show(dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value.ToString());
}

I have an event for a cell click in a datagrid view to display the data in the clicked cell in a message box. I have it set to where it only works for a certain column and only if there is data in the cell
private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex.Equals(3)) if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell != null && dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value != null) MessageBox.Show(dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value.ToString()); }
however, whenever i click any of the column headers, a blank messagebox shows up. I cant figure out why, any tips?

MatanKri over 9 yearsJust notice that you should check ` dataGridView1.CurrentCell != null ` before the first condition ...
