Function keys are not working in datagrid

[chen]

Hello
I am using Function Keys(F1, F2...) to open
other forms in my Application. My current form has datagrid on it. When a cell in a datagrid got focus, Function keys are not working.
I want to know How to make function keys work even when the cells are selected. Need solution in vb.net please.
Thanks
chen

You can catch function keys in a DataGrid by deriving the datagrid and overriding ProcessDialogKey.

Public Class MyDataGrid
    Inherits DataGrid

    Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKey(ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean
        If keyData = Keys.F1 Then
            Console.WriteLine("ProcessDialogKey - F1")
            Return False ' don't process
        End If
        Return MyBase.ProcessDialogKey(keyData)
    End Function

End Class
