datagridview button column doesn't respond to enter keystroke

• muk2cl

  Thanks mark. I put the code here just in case anyone needs it.
  
  Public Class MyDatagridviewButtonColumn

  Inherits DataGridViewButtonColumn

  Public Sub New()

  Me.CellTemplate = New MyDatagridviewButtonCell

  End Sub

  End Class

   

  Public Class MyDatagridviewButtonCell

  Inherits DataGridViewButtonCell

  Public Sub New()

  MyBase.New()

  End Sub

  Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs, ByVal rowIndex As Integer)

  MyBase.OnKeyDown(e, rowIndex)

  If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then

  e.Handled = True

  RaiseCellContentClick(New DataGridViewCellEventArgs(ColumnIndex, rowIndex))

  End If

  End Sub

  End Class

  Thanks for posting the code. Yes this is by design. We use the space bar as the "click" action for the button cell. You can customize this behavior by using inheritance - derive from the DataGridViewButtonCell and override the OnKeyDown and for the Enter key set Handled to true and raise the CellContentClick event by calling the RaiseCellContentClick method.
  
  Hope this helps!
