CODE FOR SELECTING WHOLE ROW IN DATAGRIDVIEW !!!!!

Hello Again
Suppose we want to select whole row in the DataGridView with a single enter click.
Then for this purpose we have the following code ------->>>>>

//Write this code in keydown event of DGV!

private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

        {

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)

            {

               this.dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Selected = true;

                e.Handled = true;

            }

        }

Hope it will work.

Any kind of comment are welcome

How To Use Enter Key As Tab In DataGridView

Hello everyone,
We have a condition in which we have a DataGridView and our requirement is that we want to use enter key to move to next cell of the same row and after finishing the row, the focus should  go to next row and again perform  the same operation.
so for this work we have to use the following code in dataGridView1_KeyDown() event which  we get from the properties of the dataGridView1.


The code is like


 private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            //check for enter key
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
            {
                DataGridView vw = (DataGridView)sender;
                //check for last row
                if (vw.CurrentCell.RowIndex == vw.Rows.Count - 1)
                {
                    //if it's not the last cell, move to the next one
                    if (vw.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex != vw.ColumnCount - 1)
                    {
                        vw.CurrentCell = vw.Rows[vw.CurrentCell.RowIndex].Cells[vw.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex + 1];
                    }
                    else // if last cell then either enter new raw or move to first cell.
                    {
                        //move to first column in new row
                        vw.Rows.Add(1);
                        vw.Refresh();
                        SendKeys.Send("{HOME}");
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    //if it's the last cell, move to the next row, first cell
                    if (vw.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == vw.ColumnCount - 1)
                    {
                        vw.CurrentCell = vw.Rows[vw.CurrentCell.RowIndex + 1].Cells[0];
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //move to the next cell on the current row
                        vw.CurrentCell = vw.Rows[vw.CurrentCell.RowIndex].Cells[vw.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex + 1];
                    }
                }
                //mark the keycode as handled
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }
