Message: [QUOTE="jmcilhinney, post: 184909, member: 641"] You don't call an event. Events are raised when things happen. The [ICODE]CellContentDoubleClick[/ICODE] event is raised when the user double-clicks the contents of a cell. That's it, that's all. If you want the same code executed under two different sets of circumstances, i.e. when two different events are raised, then you have two choices: [LIST=1] [*]Add both events to the [ICODE]Handles[/ICODE] clause of the same method and put your code in that method. [*]Put your code in its own method and then call that method from two different event handlers. [/LIST] The first option is only available if the [ICODE]e[/ICODE] parameter is the same for both events of you don't use that parameter in the method and can declare it as the common [ICODE]EventArgs[/ICODE] type. It's also only an option if you want exactly the same code executed on both events. That means that it's not an option for you. What you need to do is write your own method that accepts either the grid row itself or its index as a parameter and then uses that row. You can then call that method from the two event handlers. I would suggest your new method should look like this: [CODE=vbnet]Private Sub EditRow(row As DataGridViewRow) Dim cell = row.Cells 'Etc' End Sub[/CODE] You would obviously copy the rest of the code you already have into there too. The event handler you currently have then becomes this: [CODE=vbnet]Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentDoubleClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentDoubleClick EditRow(DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex)) End Sub[/CODE] and your new event handler would look like this: [CODE=vbnet]Private Sub BtnEdit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BtnEdit.Click EditRow(DataGridView1.CurrentRow) End Sub[/CODE] This is how you need to think when writing code: methods are chunks of functionality that can be invoked from wherever they are needed.
