capture mouse click on empty part of dgv

Question

I'm trying to capture a right mouse click when the mouse is over an empty part of a dgv. The dgv doesn't capture the click, nor does the underlying form. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, 

Do you mean DataGridView? 

When you say dataGridView.MouseClick += , gridview control fires the event irrespective of the place, header, row, column, empty space..., where you click.

If you elaborate your issue may be we will help you..

Hi Tom,

Could you be more specific on your graphical application type? Do you mean WPF, WinForm or Silverlight?
Thanks for your understanding.

Have a nice day,

Sorry,

I did mean datagridview and I am talking about a WinForm.

I've found the problem. I was using the CellMouseClick on an empty part of the datagridview instead of the MouseDown event.

Thank you for your responses.
