Focus On Dgv From Other Controls' KeyDown Event

mahesh waghela

I wants to focus on datagridview's particulars cells on pressing Keys Shift+Tab from textbox1 KeyDown Event like below:

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab && e.Shift) 
{
     int i = mydgv.Rows.Count - 1;
     mydgv.CurrentCell = mydgv.Rows[i].Cells[1];
}

But it's not works. I also try mydgv.Rows[i].Cells[1].Selected = true; and textbox1 KeyUp Event but it's not works.

Is there any better way to focus on datagridview's particulars cell from textbox's KeyDown/KeyUp event like above?.

The tab key is moving focus, so i would advise you not to use it
I chose the control key as being the best key for your situation

Frogleg, thanks for your suggestion and I have learnt from it. but it is not useful for my current project because I have utilise the Shift+Tab keys for select controls bottom to up. my requirement is above. I have utilize your code into Shift + Tab and it is works but it skips one more columns from datatgridview on againt press shift+tab keys.

Try

bool ctrlDown = false;

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.ControlKey )
            {
                ctrlDown = true;

            }

        }

        private void Form1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (ctrlDown && e.KeyCode == Keys.D)
            {
                ctrlDown = false;
                int i = dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1;
                dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[i];
            }
        }
