The best way to subscribe to the events of each cell in the grid is to subscribe to the events of each cell in the DataRowTemplate.
If your grid is data bound, in order to subscribe to the events of each cell in the DataRowTemplate, you will need to bind the grid between calls to the grid's BeginInit and EndInit methods.
If you are providing data manually (unbound mode), then the columns need to be added to the grid before subscribing to the events of each cell in the DataRowTemplate. Once you have subscribed to the events, you can then add your data.
Demonstration
The following example demonstrates how to subscribe to the events of each cell in a data bound grid.
| VB.NET |
 Copy Code |
|
GridControl1.BeginInit()
GridControl1.DataSource = DataSet11
GridControl1.DataMember = "Orders"
Dim cell As DataCell
For Each cell In GridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells
AddHandler cell.Click, AddressOf Me.cell_Click
Next cell
GridControl1.EndInit()
|
| C# |
Copy Code |
|
gridControl1.BeginInit();
gridControl1.DataSource = dataSet11;
gridControl1.DataMember = "Orders";
foreach( DataCell cell in gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells )
{
cell.Click += new EventHandler( this.cell_Click );
}
gridControl1.EndInit();

The next example demonstrates how to subscribe to the events of each cell in an unbound grid.
| VB.NET |
Copy Code |
|
GridControl1.Columns.Add( New Column( "first" ) )
GridControl1.Columns.Add( New Column( "second" ) )
GridControl1.Columns.Add( New Column( "third" ) )
GridControl1.Columns.Add( New Column( "fourth" ) )
Dim cell As DataCell
For Each cell In GridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells
AddHandler cell.Click, AddressOf Me.cell_Click
Next cell
AddHandler GridControl1.AddingDataRow, AddressOf Me.AddingRows
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 20
GridControl1.DataRows.AddNew().EndEdit()
Next i
|
| C# |
Copy Code |
|
gridControl1.Columns.Add( new Column( "first" ) );
gridControl1.Columns.Add( new Column( "second" ) );
gridControl1.Columns.Add( new Column( "third" ) );
gridControl1.Columns.Add( new Column( "fourth" ) );
foreach( DataCell cell in gridControl1.DataRowTemplate.Cells )
{
cell.Click += new EventHandler( this.cell_Click );
}
gridControl1.AddingDataRow += new AddingDataRowEventHandler( this.AddingRows );
for( int i = 0; i < 20; i++ )
{
gridControl1.DataRows.AddNew().EndEdit();
}
