DataGridView, how to capture a cell's KeyPress event C#

c#, datagridview

Solution

You should set your `Form` `KeyPreview` proprety to true. And you should handle the key pressed event on the main form. That is because `Control.KeyPress` event

Occurs when a key is pressed while the control has focus. (msdn)

public Form()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.KeyPreview = true;
    this.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(Control_KeyPress);
}

private void Control_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    //your code
}

Problem

i want to do treatement for a cell in datagridview c#, this traitement is open a form when i press a cell. in C# there isn't an event (keypress) which allows me to add my treatment directly After search on internet, I found the following solution ``` private void dGridView_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e) { e.Control.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(Control_KeyPress); } private void Control_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if ((Strings.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= Strings.Asc(Keys.A.ToString()) && Strings.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= Strings.Asc(Keys.Z.ToString())) || (Strings.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= Strings.Asc(Keys.D0.ToString()) && Strings.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= Strings.Asc(Keys.D9.ToString()) || (Strings.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= 97 && Strings.Asc(e.KeyChar) > 122))) { ------ } } ``` but it doesn't work. in debug the code of the event dGridView_EditingControlShowing was executed but the code of Control_KeyPress function does not run any ideas please
