GetCellFromPixel(Int32,Int32) Method

Gets the row and column indexes of the cell at the specified pointer location.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function GetCellFromPixel( _
   ByVal x As Integer, _
   ByVal y As Integer _
) As CellRange

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SpreadView
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
Dim value As CellRange
 
value = instance.GetCellFromPixel(x, y)

public CellRange GetCellFromPixel( 
   int x,
   int y
)

Parameters

x: X-coordinate (in pixels) of the pointer location
y: Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the pointer location

Return Value

CellRange object containing the row and column indexes (in a ) for the cell located at the specified pointer location, or (-1,-1,-1,-1) if no cell is located at the specified location

Remarks

This method returns a CellRange object that consists of row and column coordinates and row and column counts. If a cell exists at the pixel location, then the method returns CellRange(row, column, 1, 1) where row, column are the row index and column index of the cell. If a cell does not exist at the pixel location then the method returns CellRange(-1,-1,-1,-1).

Use the x and y parameters to specify the location (pixel) on the display of the pointer (or cursor).

This method only returns cell information for pixel locations in the data area of the sheet, and not for headers or sheet corner or other parts of the Spread component. For cells in the column headers and row headers, use the GetColumnHeaderCellFromPixel and GetRowHeaderCellFromPixel methods.

Example

This example uses the GetCellFromPixel method.

private void fpSpread1MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) 
{
    FarPoint.Win.Spread.SpreadView sv = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SpreadView(fpSpread1);
    sv = fpSpread1.GetRootWorkbook();
    FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange cr;
    cr = sv.GetCellFromPixel(e.X, e.Y);
     textBox1.Text = "You are in cell " + cr.Row.ToString() + " - " + cr.Column.ToString();
}

VB.NET

Private Sub FpSpread1MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles FpSpread1.MouseDown
    Dim sv As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SpreadView(FpSpread1)
    sv = FpSpread1.GetRootWorkbook()
    Dim cr As FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.CellRange
    cr = sv.GetCellFromPixel(e.X, e.Y)
    TextBox1.Text = "You are in cell " & cr.Row.ToString() & " - " & cr.Column.ToString()
End Sub
