Enter key behavior in GDBG

Hi, i'm using a GridDataBoundGrid and a have detected a strange behavior: when i push enter the CurrentCell moves to the right and KeyPress event is fired, the problem is that when KeyPress is executed CurrentCell is already the next cell (the one to the right).

How can i know (inside KeyPress event) that the enter key was actually pressed when in previous cell?

Hi Borja,

You can handle the CurrentCellKeyDown event and get the EnterKey ColIndex of the grid. Then check the LastKeyDown ColIndex to CurrentCell.ColIndex in CurrentCellKeyPress event. Here is a code snippet to show this.

int iLastKeyDownColIndex = -1;
private void gridDataBoundGrid1_CurrentCellKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{ iLastKeyDownColIndex = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.ColIndex;}

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_CurrentCellKeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if( (int)e.KeyChar == 13)
{
if( this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.ColIndex != +iLastKeyDownColIndex)
MessageBox.Show("EnterKey pressed in previous CurrentCell");
}
}

Best Regards,
