Is there a way to discover the starting X & Y position (in Pixels) of a
Cell within a DataGridView control on a Windows Form? (VS2005)

I've searched everywhere, and tried everything I can think of, but can't
seem to find the answer.

Thanks for any help.

Hi ShaneO
You can use GetCellDisplayRectangle method of DataGridView, for example
it dispaly position of current cell:

DataGridViewCell cell = dataGridView1.CurrentCell;
Rectangle r= dataGridView1.GetCellDisplayRectangle(
                dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex
                , dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex , false);

            MessageBox.Show(r.ToString());

if you want cell position within form , you must add datagridview 's
top & left to rectangle

I hope it helps you
Best Regards,

Hi!

I've used the method GetCellDisplayRectangle.
But it returns correct rectangle only if the given cell is visible to
the user.
Otherwise (if the cell is out of visible area, if the grid is scrolled),
it returns empty rectangle.

Does anybody know how to get cell bounds for any cell?

Thanks,
Mike.
