VB.net 2.0 Capturing Keystrokes in DataGridView

Zones: Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio .NET 2005

Tags: VB.net 2.0, Visual Basic 2005, Windows Forms

I'm searching tor what seems to be the Holy Grail on WIndows Forms Development. How to capture key strokes duing user entry & editing in a DataGridVIew. I have been searching for this for almost two weeks. I have found two solutions on web sites that seemed to have been confirmed by the questioner. However I cannot seem to get either to work. I have included both functions for your reference.

Both functions have been modified slightly by me to trap CarriageReturns and convert them to tabs. The functions work when they are fired off, but they don't seem to get fired with all key presses.

Questions.

1) Which function is preferred?

2) Where do I put the function ( ) In the Form's Code view, ( ) In a Class.

3) If in a class, how do i reference it?

Thanks for your help
