Datagridview multi line textbox when ctrl+enter press

Question

I\'m trying to add some specific behavior to a datagridview control (if you can put it like that).

I would like to have a multiplelines

Answer 1

Sorry for the C# syntax. But I guess the event exists also in VB.NET.

I would suggest to use the KeyDown event:

private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("I have been Executed!");
    }
}

this works for me catching keyboard input when the DataGridView has focus.

I am fairly confident you can achieve the desired results by changing a couple of properties in the DataGridView and use a “Shift-Enter” instead of “Ctrl-Enter”.

In the DataGridView set its AutoSizeRowsMode to AllCells, then set the particular COLUMNS DefaultCellStyle -> WrapMode to true. Then use a “Shift-Enter” while editing a cell and you should get multiple lines in a cell. Hope this is what you were looking for.
