Hi,

you could do this on the MouseDown Event:
Private Sub dgvAudio_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles dgvAudio.MouseDown
        Dim intRowIndex as Integer = DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).RowIndex
        Dim intColumn as Integer = DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).ColumnIndex
        Dim Button As Windows.Forms.MouseButtons = e.Button
End Sub

Open in new window

Sorry, should be like this:

Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.MouseDown
        Dim intRowIndex as Integer = DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).RowIndex
        Dim intColumn as Integer = DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).ColumnIndex
        Dim Button As Windows.Forms.MouseButtons = e.Button
End Sub
