Skip a cell on TAB in datagridview

Hi

I need to skip a cell, that is read only, when the user presses the Tab key.
I have tried the following code to skip over column 2

  Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Message, ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean

        Select Case keyData
            Case Keys.Tab
                If grdHSE.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex = 1 Then
                    grdHSE.CurrentCell = grdHSE(3, grdHSE.CurrentCell.RowIndex)
                End If
        End Select
    End Function

but it skips to column 4 not 3.

All help much appreciated.

Best Regards

try setting the StandardTab property of the Datagridview to TRUE (and remove the manual key processing)

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

If I do that then the focus goes to the next control in the tab order on the form.
