GridView specific Column click event

I had posted a question on gridview cell click here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22880624/GridView-cell-click-event.html

I got my answer and now what I want to know - Is there any way where we can limit the cell click to only ONE particular column - say only the first column. I do not want any click event to happen anywhere on the grid except the first column. Can anyone help?

This is the code [from that link]:

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCreated

Dim gr As GridViewRow

For Each gr In GridView1.Rows
Dim tc As TableCell
For Each tc In gr.Cells

tc.Attributes.Add("onclick", "alert('This is ID" & tc.Text & "')")

Next tc
Next gr

End Sub

try something like

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCreated

Dim gr As GridViewRow

For Each gr In GridView1.Rows
gr.Cells[0].Attributes.Add("onclick", "alert('This is ID" & tc.Text & "')")
Next gr

End Sub

It's throwing an error: Property access must assign to the property or use its value.

But 'tc.Text' is not declared because in the original code it is defined as 'Dim tc As TableCell'. How would I get the value of the cell?

Okay thanks I got it. I tried it this way:

For Each gr In GridView1.Rows
gr.Cells(0).Attributes.Add("onclick", "alert('This is ID" & gr.Cells(0).Text & "')")
Next gr

missed that...

replace tc.Text with
gr.Cells(0).Text

actually...
the tc from your original code is now replaced with
gr.Cells(0)
meaning the first cell in the row

Just another random question: What if I want to limit the click event to selected columns?
