What My Question is, in my Windows forms application i have task like i have textbox,
which will filled with Employee Name and that name should be already existin Employee name.
for that i have taken one button. when i click on that button, i display a popup window.In that window i display the employee details in datagridview when i click on the corresponding cell with mouse that popup will be closed.

But what my requirement is to reduce the mouse usage,i need to select the corresponding cell with Enterkey. but EnterKey default action will be when i click the key it will move to next row cell.
i want to restrict the default action of the Enter key and also assign the click event to enterKey to select the corresponding cell as like the mouseclick event...

i have tried it with KeyPreveiew property of the form But i didn't succeeded....

Please send me the answer if any body knows...what to do....

First, I think you are making a mistake by planning to over-ride the expected behavior of the DataGridView when it gets an Enter/Return keypress while a cell is selected.

But here's a 'sketch' for code to use:

C#

// this code has not been tested

// if using international fonts this may have
// to be modified to take into account Locale, etc. ? See MSDN.
private char EnterChar = (char)13;

private void dataGridView1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    // note that 'SelectedCells is never equal to 'null
    if (e.KeyChar == EnterChar && dataGridView1.SelectedCells.Count == 1)
    {
        // close the pop-up code here
        //
        // ignore this keypress
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
