iam using a editable datagridview so when the user enter s the values into the cell and when he presses enter key the focus should go to the 2nd column i have tried the following code

private void dataGridView1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

if (e.KeyValue == 13 && dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 0)

{

dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[1, dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1];

}

}

this works fine as long as the cell edit is finished and it has no focus

i.e when the user types in the data in cell and when he tabs to next cell and when he presses enter key then the focus will go to the 2nd column but when he finishes typing and focus is on the cell when he hits enter key the above event is not getting fired

so i have tried the above in "dataGridView1_KeyUp" event this works fine but

when the user is in 5th column and hits enter it first goes to 5 th coloumn in the next row and then it goes to the 2nd column i dont want that behaviour so in which event i have to write so that whne the user hits enter key i goes directly to the 2nd column in the new row

thanks in advance

Thanks for your tips.
But I don't know where to put the override methods, I am using vb2005 of Visual Studio (where is the Datagridview class?) (sorry about this newbie question)

Hi Tigerwood2006,

Usually, we create DataGridView by dragging a DataGridView control from ToolView into our Form.

But in your case, we need to manually create a inheritated custom DataGridView, let’s call it MyDataGridView. It means you have to define a new class called MyDataGridView which inheretated from DataGridView.

There are two main steps to achieve this goal:

1. Define a custom class MyDataGridView, inheretated from DataGridView. In MyDataDridView, you need not change any other code except method ProcessDialogKey and method OnKeyDown. Here is the code:

i need to use the above.... but i don't know where i need to put the mydatagridview and how to use it.
