Datagrid | Capture Key Down event

I have a windows application wherein I have focus on a datagrid. Now when i
hit the down arrow, I want to capture the event. However, my datagrid.KeyDow n
event handle is not getting invoked at all.
This is actually the first time I'm ever having to use this event of the
datagrid. Just wanted to know if this does not work?
And if it doesn't, then what's the workaround?

Cheers!

Hi Nick,
follow the sample below

DataGridTextBox Column dataCtrl =
(DataGridTextBo xColumn)dataGri d.TableStyles[member].GridColumnStyl es["fieldName"];
TextBox tBox = dataCtrl.TextBo x;
tBox.KeyUp += new EventHandler(on KeyUp);

regards

Can anyone tell me how to capture the Key-up & Key-down in the selection part (left hand 'margin') of a datagrid, i.e. when navigating up and down the datagrid using the up and down arrows. I have tried to capture them in the "Key-UP" event, but this only seems to work inside the contents of the datagrid.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a really annoying problem I have been having. I made a derived datagrid class that will select the row when a user clicks anywhere on a cell (multi-select without modifier keys). I got that working fine, but I also wanted to keep rows selected after a sort, which I do by storing the row's id in an arraylist. The idea was to do the sort and then go back and re-select the rows with that...

I have a read only datagrid that is designed to coordinate itself with textboxes. When the user clicks on a row in the datagrid, detailed data for that row is displayed for editing in the textboxes. The datagrid and textboxes are populated from the same underlying SQL Server table but using different strongly typed data adapters and datasets for display and editing. So I coordinate syncronization of the two sets of data using code. I use...

I have a Datagrid that is inside a panel. I want to use the keyDown event to reconize the arrow keys. But I have no luck at all. The problem is that the keydown event won't fire at all, unless I click on a row (withs will turn blue then) and then click on it again . Now if I press any key the event will fire (except for the arrow keys). I also tried to override the IsInputKey => no luck. I also tried to override the ProcessCmdKey => With...

Hi, I have a page that has a datagrid bound to a dataset. Items are added to the dataset at particular times (ie the click event of an item in a tree control) then bound to the grid. The grid has an image button in a Template column that is used to remove an item (dataset row). I can't re-bind the grid on the postback or I lose the event handler for the button. I also have a column that contains a textbox that I need to handle the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
