Remarks

The RowClick event fires when clicking on any element of a grid row (cell, cell border, row indicator, etc).

The RowClick event will not fire when clicking on a row cell if data editing is enabled and the ColumnViewOptionsBehavior.EditorShowMode property is set to MouseDown (and to Default, if multiple row selection is disabled).

The code sample below illustrates how to use the RowClick event to copy a column’s value into a TextEdit control.

gridView1.Columns["ID"].View.OptionsBehavior.EditorShowMode = EditorShowMode.MouseUp;
gridView1.RowClick += gridView1_RowClick;

private void gridView1_RowClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.RowClickEventArgs e)
{
    textEdit1.EditValue = (sender as GridView).GetFocusedRowCellValue("ID");
}
