DataGridViewComboBoxCell.KeyEntersEditMode(KeyEventArgs) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Determines if edit mode should be started based on the given key.

public:
 override bool KeyEntersEditMode(System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs ^ e);

public override bool KeyEntersEditMode (System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e);

override this.KeyEntersEditMode : System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs -> bool

Public Overrides Function KeyEntersEditMode (e As KeyEventArgs) As Boolean

Parameters

e

KeyEventArgs

A KeyEventArgs that represents the key that was pressed.

Returns

Boolean

true if edit mode should be started; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the EditMode property of the DataGridView control is set to EditOnKeystroke or EditOnKeystrokeOrF2, the control uses this method to determine whether a key other than F2 that is pressed by the user while this cell has focus will cause the cell to enter edit mode.

This method returns true if the e parameter indicates one of the following keys or key combinations: F4, ALT+UP ARROW, ALT+DOWN ARROW, or an ordinary data-entry key (such as a letter, number, punctuation mark, or the SPACE key) unmodified by ALT or CTRL, excluding SHIFT+SPACE, which is used by the control for selection purposes.
