Trapping Keydown event in Datagrid

[Radhika Nair]

Hi !

I would like to be able to write an event handler for the DataGrid.KeyDown
event. I have set the Form.KeyPreview = True and have written the following
event handler:

Private Sub DataGrid_Test_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
KeyEventArgs) Handles DataGrid_Test.KeyDown

MessageBox.Show("Key Pressed = " & e.KeyData.ToString())

End Sub

I would expect that when any key is pressed in the DataGrid, the messagebox
will be displayed. But this is not happening.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Radhika

Hi Radhika - There is a great example on syncfusion.com of how to handle
keystrokes in the datagrid:

Hope this helps!
