Solution 4

I have found probably a better way to simulate key strokes:

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev10.query?appId=Dev10IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k(SYSTEM.WINDOWS.FORMS.SENDKEYS.SEND);k(SEND);k(SOLUTIONITEMSPROJECT);k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-%22.NETFRAMEWORK%2cVERSION%3dV4.0%22);k(DevLang-CSHARP)&rd=true[^]

this is work properly only last row not in any row of column. i want to use in any row.

if multi row is available in datagridview and we can edit in any row of column then this command not work properly. if single row or last row this is work good. so please suggest me how to work in any row of column using enter

Solution 2

I would write an event handler for the Keypress event for the grid and look for the enter key. Then would manually set the focus to the next column. Don't forget to set the e.Handled = True.

i am also trying e.handled=true;
and sendkey.key(Tab);
but this is use a last row if i can press in any column of any row then my cursor is select in next row. but i want my cursor select next column.

Do not try to use the sendkey, just manually do it, use the setfocus command. I have not found the sendkey works very well.

I would strongly suggest that you reconsider.

Users generally expect ENTER to effect a button, or submit a page generally. To move from field to field, they expect to use TAB.
Unless you have a *VERY* good reason for changing this behaviour you will just confuse and annoy your users, and that means they won't use your program.
