I would like to automatically move to the next cell when the user presses the Enter key at the completion of a cell edit (like Excel).

Hi Morgan,

You can handle the DataCell’s KeyDown event, check whether an enter key was triggered then set the next cell as current using The CurrentCell property of the GridControl.

Could you give me an example?  I am not sure how to access the DataCell's KeyDown event.

Hi,

We are not sure what you mean by moving to 'the next cell'. 

Do you want the user not to move to the next (insertion) row when the user press Enter if other cells on the right are still empty, but perhaps you want to move to the next insertion row if all the cells are filled?   And if Enter is pressed when you're at the extreme right of the row, but if some cells that are still empty of the left, you go to the empty cells first instead of adding a new insertion row?  

This is a complex question and a "code example" could take anything from a couple of lines to more than a hundred lines, depending of several factors. 

Regards

When the user is finished editing a cell and presses Enter, I want the next cell to the right to be the new CurrentCell.  Something similar to the way EXCEL behaves, but instead of moving down I want to move across.
