TAB (key) to next control instead of next column (in datagrid)

Hello.

I have datagrid.
I found code to select all row in data grid (by mouse or arrow keys).
This works great - user can select row and...

....and I want to go to next control.

For example:
User writes something in textbox - then hits TAB to go to datagrid...
....in data grid user choose row by arrows (up and down) and he want to go to
next control (for example combobox)...
....user hits TAB but it comes to next column in datagrid...

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GO OUT FROM DATAGRID WITH TAB KEY?

I have tried to use keypress or something like that, but:
-maybe I did it wrong (then please show short code how to do that)
-or maybe DATAGRID.KEYPRE SSED doesn't work when I have some cell selected...
....I don't know how to explain what am I talking about...
is it possible that CELLS in DATAGRID are like little controls? and when I
press TAB in datagrid then I press TAB in cell not in datagrid?

I want use all datagrid like one big control (like big listbox for example)
:
previous control --> TAB --> DATAGRID --> TAB --> next control

Hi,

Have a look at this:

http://www.syncfusion.com/faq/winforms/search/836.asp

Download their example from the link at the bottom of the answer and
have a look how they do it.

Hi,

If you type the datagrid name in code, put the period after it and hit
CTRL-SPACE to get your options dropdown menu, there is a method which allows
you to jump to the next control. It is labeled "SelectNextCont rol".
Capture the keyboard input in the Datagrid control such that when one
presses the TAB key, you fire the method I just showed.

eg: DataGrid1.Selec tNextControl()

Fire that method on the TAB key capture.

Hope this helps...

Hi,
Even better yet, I've since noticed that as parameters of the
"SelectNextCont rol" you specify that you desire it to be fired on TAB as one
option. You also specify which control to go to next as the first
parameter.

Simply read the parameter list for the "SelectNextCont rol" method and you
will see where you specify the next control to go to and the key or
condition of which to go to the specified control.

Helpful? Hopefully!
Glenn

I have autopostback turned on for Textbox1. When the user tabs out of it, the codebehind recalculates some other fields based on its value, and the user should be able to start typing a value in the next control Textbox2. However, when the page is rendered, the focus goes back to Textbox1. In order to go to the next control the user has to hit tab twice - once to recalculate, and once to tab out of the control. Is there some way to make it...

I've implemented sort via the well known method of assigning the an IComparer class to the .ListViewItemSorter property. It works fine except for one thing. If I had rearranged the column order in the listview and then sort the column, the listview control returns the column order to its original state. How can I tell it not to? Thanks Frank
