When I'm browsing the DGV that when he hit enter change column.
Have searched the net but the examples I found did not work, if you guys can help me.

I thank you.
I've tried, but it's not what I need

VB

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
    SendKeys.Send (Keys.Tab)
end If

I've tried another one below it worked, but when I use a button to enter it works like tab, or form is turned in, I want to just stay active in DataGridView.

VB

Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Message, ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean
    If (Me.DataGridView1.Focused OrElse Me.DataGridView1.EditMode) AndAlso keyData = Keys.Enter Then
        SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
        Return True
    End If

    Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)

End Function

is not what I need.

need that every time I press enter, it will enter that cell to cell and the column next to the finish line, not down.

I found this on the internet, it was almost but still not what I need.

VB

Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Message, ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean


        If keyData = Keys.Enter Then
            If TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl OrElse _
              TypeOf Me.ActiveControl Is DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl Then


                If dgv1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex < dgv1.ColumnCount - 1 Then


                    dgv1.CurrentCell = dgv1.Rows(dgv1.CurrentCell.RowIndex).Cells(dgv1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex + 1)


                Else
                    Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
                End If
            End If
        Else
            Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
        End If
    End Function

event datagrid
    Private Sub DataGridView_CellEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView.CellEnter

        If e.ColumnIndex = 1 Then
            dgv1.BeginEdit(True)

        End If
    End Sub

There is a pretty good answer right here on MSDN[^].

VB

Class MyDataGridView
    Inherits DataGridView

    Protected Overloads Overrides Function ProcessDialogKey(ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean
        If keyData = Keys.Enter Then
            MyBase.ProcessTabKey(Keys.Tab)
            Return True
        End If
        Return MyBase.ProcessDialogKey(keyData)
    End Function

    Protected Overloads Overrides Function ProcessDataGridViewKey(ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) As Boolean
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
            MyBase.ProcessTabKey(Keys.Tab)
            Return True
        End If
        Return MyBase.ProcessDataGridViewKey(e)
    End Function

End Class

Hope it helps :)

Solution 2

I use this code in my KeyDown event for the DatGridView:

VB

Private Sub dgvMyGrid_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles dgvMyGrid.KeyDown
    Select Case e.KeyCode
        Case Keys.Enter
            e.Handled = True
            SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
        End Select
    End Sub

I have my DataGridView.EditMode set to EditOnEnter. You may have to play with that setting to get it the way you want.

this code had already tested

geice 13-Mar-12 14:20pm

and did not work

Why didn't it work? Did it give an error? I have encountered issues before when using SendKeys...some antivirus software can conflict with it. Have you tested to see if that is the reason it isn't working?

Private Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100

Protected Overrides Function ProcessKeyPreview(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) As Boolean
Dim keyCode As Keys = CType(m.WParam.ToInt32() And Keys.KeyCode, Keys)
If m.Msg = WM_KEYDOWN And keyCode = Keys.Enter Then
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
Return True
End If
Return MyBase.ProcessKeyPreview(m)
End Function

enter as tab IN datagridview
