space bar in a cell

I am using the code from this forum to highlight an entire grid row and have my grid set as readonly. I need to take action when a user press the space bar on a row. I have tried KeyDown, KeyUp and CellClick but those are not what I need. How should I do this? thanks

If I have a row selected and press teh space bar, I can see both the grid''s CurrentCellKeyDown ebent and teh grid''s KeyDown event being hit. Will CurrentCellKeyDown work for you?

I think I see the difference now. Yes CurrentCellKeyDown will work if I am already on a cell row, but if use the mouse and select a different row then press the space bar my CurrentCellKeyDown event is not firing. I am getting a space added into the the first column of the selected row if the grid is not read only and nothing if its readonly. >If I have a row selected and press teh space bar, I can see both the grid''s CurrentCellKeyDown ebent and teh grid''s KeyDown event being hit. > >Will CurrentCellKeyDown work for you?

This sample below (does) not seem to have a poblem catch CurrentCellKeyDown (or KeyDown). Does it not work for you? What version are you using? Are you doing something differrent? forum11299_7924.zip

Thanks your sample worked. I was not setting the ColIndex to 0 in the CurrentCellActivating. Adding that fixed my problem. I have noticed serveral of your samples have Console.WriteLine''s in them but no code to create a console in the form_load. Is the console displaying on your end when you run this?

It displays in my output window.
