Get the first value from a DataGridViewRow without selecting the entire row

I have a DataGridView, I want the user to be able to select any value in it and when a button is pressed it should show the first value from that row. 

private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     MessageBox.Show(Datagridview.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value.ToString());
}

This of course gives an error seeing there is no row selected.

So how can I get the selected row from the selected cell to use in a way that I am able to get the value from the first cell of the row?

The only "solutions" I can find online involve forcing the user to be only able to select the entire row, not cell.

you can keep cell seclection and use the row of CurrentCell

private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     var current = Datagridview.CurrentCell;
     if (current == null) return;
     MessageBox.Show(Datagridview.Rows[current.RowIndex].Cells[0].Value.ToString());
     // or with indexer:
     // MessageBox.Show(Datagridview[0, current.RowIndex].Value.ToString());
}
