Can I make DataGridView.EndEdit trigger the CellValidating event?

Question

I\'m using a DataGridView in my WinForms application. My main objective is to make the Enter key not move to the next row in the grid. I still want the enter key to validate

Answer 1

thanks for the solution. my version is a slight different from yours, because when i move to the other cell, and my code returns e.cancel=false in the cell validating event, an error will be generated, says that: "operation did not succeed, because the program cannot commit or quit a cell value change". so i put try catch to overcome this problem.

this is my code:

Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKey(ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean

    Dim key As Keys = (keyData And Keys.KeyCode)

    If key = Keys.Enter Then
        If MyBase.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex = 1 Then
            Dim iRow As Integer = MyBase.CurrentCell.RowIndex

            MyBase.EndEdit()
            Try
                MyBase.CurrentCell = Nothing
                MyBase.CurrentCell = MyBase.Rows(iRow).Cells(1)
                frmFilter.cmdOk_Click(Me, New EventArgs)
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try

            Return True
        End If
    End If

    Return MyBase.ProcessDialogKey(keyData)
End Function
