DataGridView CellMouseEnter detecting grey area

Question

i'm trying simulate a hover event in a DataGridView control to show a Cursor.Hand when a DataGridViewImageColumn has hovered

I'm trying this (suscribe to CellMouseEnter)

dgv_tabla.CellMouseEnter += dgv_tabla_Hover;

And checking if RowIndex is not -1

private void dgv_tabla_Hover(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    //The index of the column where i want to show Cursor.Hand
    var index = dgv_tabla.Columns["Remove"].Index;

    if (e.ColumnIndex == index && e.RowIndex >= 0)
        dgv_tabla.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
    else
        dgv_tabla.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}

The problem, is when i'm hovering "Remove" cell and move the mouse down (to the ''grey area''), then, the Cursor.Hand dont change to Cursor.Default

Image to understood better:

Is any way to achieve this?

Thanks!

Another solution would be to use the MouseMove event and do a HitTest as suggested by TaW in the comments above. In this case, your code would look something like this:

dgv_tabla.MouseMove += Dgv_tabla_MouseMove;


private void Dgv_tabla_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    int index = dgv_tabla.Columns["Remove"].Index;

    DataGridView.HitTestInfo info = dgv_tabla.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
    if (info.ColumnIndex == index && info.RowIndex >= 0)
        dgv_tabla.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
    else
        dgv_tabla.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}
