HitTest Column Sample (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to return a reference to a column at a given X and Y coordinate.

Private Sub wndGridControl_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Long, Y As Long)  
    Dim hitColumn As GridColumn  

    ' Returns a reference to the column clicked  
    ' Determines which column the mouse is positioned over on MouseDown. 
    ' This will also be executed if the column header in the Group By box is clicked. 
    ' This will be true if any item in the column is clicked, not just column headers.  
    Set hitColumn = wndGridControl.HitTest(X, Y).Column  

    If Not hitColumn Is Nothing Then  
        Debug.Print "MouseDown on Column header: " & hitColumn.Caption  
    End If  
End Sub
