How to include the 'Return' in the editing of a Datagridview cell?
I have a datagridview box that allows a user to edit the contents of the cell. It is a memo field that a user edits and may need to use 'enter' (ie. Return) to go to the next line.
However, when you hit enter, it jumps out to the next cell.
Any way to code it so that the Return acutally stays within the current cell and goes to the next line in the cell?
Thanks.

You have to capture the key strokes "on change event" of the celland if it is enter key then focus to next line.

I added this and it worked. I captured the Enter Key and replaced it with Shift Enter.
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Messa
If keyData = Keys.Enter Then
Dim ctl As Control = Me.ActiveControl
If Not (ctl Is Nothing) Then
If (TypeOf ctl Is DataGridViewTextBoxEditing
SendKeys.Send("+~")
Return True
End If
End If
End If
Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
End Function

Ex.
Me.DataGridView1.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditO
