Prevent windows forms datagridview to change row after cell edit

Question

I have a datagridview in windows forms, the default behavior when editing values is that after the edition of a cell, when I press enter, the selected row changes to the next.

I don't want that, I want to exit edit mode but staying in the same cell.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can customize the DataGridView to override the ProcessDialogKey method:

public class CustomGrid : DataGridView {            
        protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData) {
            if (keyData == Keys.Enter) {    
                EndEdit();
                return true;
            }
            return base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData);
        }
}

Answer 2

KeyDown event:

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then e.SuppressKeyPress = True

Answer 3

Its very simple. While editing save the cellindex in a variable and then re-select it.

Get the column and row index:

e.ColumnIndex;
e.RowIndex;

and save them into a variable. After edited the cell, re-select the cell:

dataGridView1.Rows[rindex].Cells[cindex].Selected = true;
