DataGridView keydown event not working in C#

Question

DataGridView keydown event is not working when I am editing text inside a cell.

I am assigning shortcut Alt+S to save the data, it works when cell

Answer 1

Another way of doing it is by using the EditingControlShowing event to redirect the event handling to a custom event handler as below:

private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
 {
    if (e.Control is DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl tb)
            {
                tb.KeyDown -= dataGridView1_KeyDown;
                tb.KeyDown += dataGridView1_KeyDown;
            }
 }

//then in your keydown event handler, execute your code
private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
 {
    if (e.KeyData == (Keys.Alt | Keys.S))
    {
         //save data
    }
 }
