TAB key in DataBoundGrid

[Administrator]

How could I make the TAB key to move to the next row in a DataBoundGrid?

Currently my DataBoundGrid has the "LitBoxSelectionMode" set to One so that each time user clicks on the grid the row gets selected. I also set e.ColIndex = 0; in CurrentCellActivating. The grid works nicely, but the tab key does not work. I would like to have the tab key move to the next row.

I tested the sample code in the following Knowledgebase Issue: Q10441 - Info: How do I catch the "TAB" key when the current cell is in edit mode? The code in ProcessCmdKey did not execute when I pressed the TAB key. How could I catch the TAB key?

Thnak you, Marju

Marju,

Try also setting

grid.WantsTabKey = false

Hi Stefan,

I tried setting grid.WantsTabKey = false, but the code in ProcessCmdKey did not run.

Is there a different way to handle the TAB key?

I''m also setting e.ColIndex = 0; in CurrentCellActivating. Does this make a diference? (I already tried the code with out e.ColIndex = 0, but ProcessCmdKey did not run)

Thank you, Marju

Hi Marju,
Here is some code snippet to handle this in grid''s keydown.

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab)
{
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.MoveDown(1, false);			
}
}
