Hi all,

I have a DataGridView, when pressing Enter button I want to change selection to another cell,

I used the Key_Down event handler but it didn't work when pressing Enter when the cell is in edit mode.

Thanks in advance,
:)

Solution 1

Use the DataGridView.CurrentCell property: MSDN[^]

int row = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
int col = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex;
dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[col, row + 1];

(You will have to add error checking and so forth, but that's the general way to do it.)

Try the KeyPress event.
