Using a datagridview as a lookup window
I have a WIndows form in a C# application with a datagrid view called dgvCustomers. I now need to turn this into a lookup window so it will return the Customer number. There are only two fields on this form, CUSTNMBR and CUSTNAME. I am thinking of giving them two options to return a value. One would be with a button with text Select and the other would be a double click event. I assume the code would be the same between these two methods. The query behind this dgv is:
SELECT CUSTNMBR,CUSTNAME FROM CUSTOMERS ORDER BY CUSTNMBR
This query is used to populate a data table(Customers) and then the datagridview(dgvCustomers)
What is the proper method to identify the cell to which the user is currently pointing and returning the customer number?
