DataGrid KeyPress Event

[usamaalam]

Hi all,

I need to work with keypress or keydown event of data grid. I have an editable datagrid, and when user enters data in the datagrid, I want to display total accordingly. For this purpose, I wrote code in Keypress event but event is not firing. Moreover, I tried KeyDown but its also not firing.

Any ideas ??

Thanks

You could use the CurrentCellChanged event, i.e.

      private void dataGrid1_CurrentCellChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
         int index = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber;

         decimal total = 0;
         foreach(DataRow row in ((DataTable)dataGrid1.DataSource).Rows)
            if( row[index] != DBNull.Value ) 
               total += Convert.ToDecimal(row[index]);

         label1.Text = string.Format("Total for this column in {0}", total);
      }
