Hi, how can I make the DataGridView remainina cell after Enter is pressed to commit an edit? The default behaviour is to move down one cell. The only way that I could make it work was to inherit the DataGridView and overrideProcessCmdKey.When the Enteris pressed,I would move one cell to the left and then back. See code below. This is a hack and I would like a better way of handling it. Also, I am using the DataGridView unbound.

 

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
    if (msg.WParam == new IntPtr(13))
    {
        this.CurrentCell = this[this.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex-1, this.CurrentCell.RowIndex];
        this.CurrentCell = this[this.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex, this.CurrentCell.RowIndex];
        return true;
    }
    return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);

}

Hello johnsheares,

I think override the ProcessDialogKey can meet your need. Here is the example
public class MyDataGridView : DataGridView
{
protected override bool ProcessDialogKey (Keys keyData)
{
if (keyData == Keys.Enter)
{
this.EndEdit();
return true;
}
return base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData);
}
}
ProcessDialogKey is called during message preprocessing to handle dialog characters, such as TAB, RETURN, ESCAPE, and arrow keys. So you can handle it to call EndEdit method.

Please tell me if you have any problem.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
