Move one control to another using Tab key

When the TAB key is pressed at the end of the cell, the control that needs to be moved is moved to another control by using the TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown event and the SelectNextControl method.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown += gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown;
void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControlKeyEventArgs e)
{
    int row, col;
    row = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
    col = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.ColIndex;
    if (this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.RowCount == row && this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.ColCount == col + 2)
    {
        if (e.Inner.KeyCode == Keys.Tab)
        {
            //Moves one control to another control.
            this.SelectNextControl(gridGroupingControl1, true, false, false, false);
        }
    }
}

Private Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown += AddressOf gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown
Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellKeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControlKeyEventArgs)
  Dim row, col As Integer
  row = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.RowIndex
  col = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.ColIndex
  If Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.RowCount = row AndAlso Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.ColCount = col + 2 Then
      If e.Inner.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then
        'Moves one control to another control.
        Me.SelectNextControl(gridGroupingControl1, True, False, False, False)
      End If
  End If
End Sub
