TableLayoutPanel and Getting a Cell by Mouse position

Hi All, I have a TableLayoutPanel on a form and I want to let the user drag and drop objects on to it. I need to find out on which cell the dragged object has been dropped. is there any way to do it? Thanks a lot

Hi there, What I would do is to create inside each cell a full-docked control, like an empty label, then on the TableLayoutPanel DragDrop event I'd get the cell by the position of the control: private void tableLayoutPanel1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { Point p = tableLayoutPanel1.PointToClient(new Point(e.X, e.Y)); Control c = tableLayoutPanel1.GetChildAtPoint(p); TableLayoutPanelCellPosition cellPos = tableLayoutPanel1.GetCellPosition(c); } Try it, it's working. The cell that gets the drop is reprisented by cellPos.Row and cellPos.Column Hope that help. Danny

Hello danny, What is the relevance of creating a full docked control as you have explained. It will be great if you could spare some time to explain. Thanks, CPM

... because this code works only if there is some control at clicked position.

tableLayoutPanel1.GetChildAtPoint(p)

... would return null without the full docked control at the background.
