Select first row after getting focus

Hi,

I try to use sfDataGrid as a search windows. I have a simple form with a TextBoxExt and a sfDataGrid.
When typing a value in the TextBox, the grid is filtered by that text.

When one row is left, I want only press enter to select the first value of the row and send it back as my key.
Or when there are multiple rows left, I want to press the down arroy (or tab) to left the TextBox and enter the sfDataGrid.
So I can use the down arrow to go to the record I want, press enter and send the first value back as my key.

It is working now with the mouse. After filtering, I can double click on a row and send back the first value of the row.

And what is working also is after filtering, I click with the mouse on a row, then go with arrow key to the record of my choose, press enter.

What I can not getting work is give the sfDataGrid the same focus as clicking with the mouse on the grid.

With sfDataGrid.Focus() and sfDataGrid1.SelectRows(1,1) or sfDataGrid.SelectCells(record, column), I can not use arrow keys to go to the other records.

So my question is:
How can I set the same focus programmaticaly as clicking with the mouse on a cell.

Thank You,

Gerrit

Solved it:

            if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
            {
                if(sfDataGrid1.View.Records.Count > 0)
                {
                    this.sfDataGrid1.Focus();
                    this.sfDataGrid1.SelectedItems.Add(this.sfDataGrid1.View.Records[0]);
                    this.sfDataGrid1.TableControl.Select();
                }
            }
