Hi how to make enter key behave like a tabkey in datagrid view, using vb.net windows application?

Thanks in advance..!

Hi,

 

When DateGridView is in edit mode, enter Key is processed in ProcessDialogKey() method. When DataGridView is not in edit mode, we can override ProcessDataGridViewKey() to change the navigation.

There is a FAQ tells about this:

9. How can I make the Enter key work as Tab key?

And the following is VB.NET code:

Public Class MyDataGridView

    Inherits DataGridView

 

    Protected Overrides Function ProcessDataGridViewKey(ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) As Boolean

        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then

            Me.ProcessTabKey(e.KeyData)

            Return True

        End If

        Return MyBase.ProcessDataGridViewKey(e)

    End Function

 

    Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKey(ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean

        If keyData = Keys.Enter Then

            Me.ProcessTabKey(keyData)

            Return True

        End If

        Return MyBase.ProcessDialogKey(keyData)

    End Function

 

End Class
