  In C++/win32 api you could GetStockObject( ANSI_FIXED_FONT ) to use the ANSI_FIXED_FONT. How would you get this font for use with C#.NET 2.0 .NET 2.0 doesn't directly support ANSI_FIXED_FONT. You can get DEFAULT_GUI_FONT with the right Windows version and SystemFonts.DefaultFont. Otherwise, .NET 2.0 really only supports Brushes and Pens from GetStockObject(). You'll have to PInvoke GetStockObject(11) ...Show All

So, I think this can be solved overriding the onkeydown method on your datagridview, or handling the datagridview's keydown event on your form. To select the next cell you just do this: DataGridView1.CurrentCell = ...Show All
