I have set it already,
therefore when i press the btnOK, i can get what i want,
but i cannot get what i want through this calling method
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
Call btnOK_Click(sender, e)
End If
WHY
I think is the if statement cannot capture the enter key, it is because i add the msgbox inside the if statement,
i cannot get the msgbox popup when i press "ENTER" on the DGV.
Can you help me

hi,
first of all your program doesn't know anything except what you wrote so if you didn't wrote it in a way can be executed then your program will do nothing
second your datagridview in your second form will not be able to see the other datagridview in the other form you have to pass data between forms
third you asked about keypress and its different when you deal with the datagridview
fourth nothing better than a good book or a decent tutorial , the absolute beginner vedio series has a good tutorial about this , in the "RSS feed" there is a good example about how to pass a dataset between forms useing properties, and you can bound both of your datagridview to the same dataset or the same datatable , i believe this is in "Channel form " part in the tutorial

hi,
because you call the method doesn't have the same signature call it like this
Call btnOK_Click(nothing, nothing)
or call button class to click
btnOk.Click
hope this helps
