Selecting field from DataGrid when using a Context Menu

I created a context menu and bound it to the data grid
this.dataGrid1.ContextMenu = this.contextMenu1;
This works fine when I right click.

What I am trying to do is to capture the data that is in the specific DataGrid box that
the context menu was created on. I am then going to pass it to another winform.

The functionality that I am looking for is if you left click on some code in Visual Studio
and then right click and select copy. Do a paste somewere else . Whatever line you
were on was selected for the copy.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello David,

Upon displaying the context menu, get mouse pointer coordinates, translate
them into DataGrid's client coordinate system, perform a HitTest, determine
the row number and the column number and then query data grid's Item indexer
for the cell contents.

There probably exists a simplier solution, but here is something to at least
start your investigation with.
