pressing enter key and open a new form in datagridview

Question

When a user presses Enter key in one of my datagridview cells (like in column1 cells), a new form like form2 should be opened. I know that in the keypress event I should write e.handled=true; to achieve this, but this code is not working when the datagridview cell is active. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You need to handle the EditingControlShowing event of DataGridView control and PreviewKeyDown event of Cell's Control.

dataGridView1.EditingControlShowing += (senderObject,eventArgs)=>
  {
    eventArgs.Control.PreviewKeyDown += (sa, ea) =>
      {
       if (ea.KeyCode == Keys.Return)
         {
           MessageBox.Show("Something...");
         }
      };
   };
