Windows Forms FAQs

How do I prevent moving to the next cell in a DataGrid when the user is actively editing the cell and presses Enter?

Override the method ProcessKeyPreview in the DataGrid. 

protected override bool ProcessKeyPreview( ref Message m )
{
  Keys keyCode = (Keys) (int) m.WParam & Keys.KeyCode;
  if ( ( m.Msg == WM_KEYDOWN || m.Msg == WM_KEYUP )
    && keyCode == Keys.Enter )
    return false;
  return true;
}
