    format datagridview cell

    As I am typing a value into a cell of the datagridview in winform, I would like to check the value entered.
    For example in a cell of the datagridview I enter 3 and then m
    I basically would like to see if the user has entered m or t and if so multiply the number by 1000000 or 1000 respectively.
    Is there an event to check for the text AS it is being entered into the cell?
    Thanks

    Re: format datagridview cell

    There's a reason that most things don't happen in a DGV until the user changes cells. What happens in your case if the user enters 3, then m, then backspace, then t? You don't know what the user is going to enter until they have finished entering it, so why not wait until then to act on it?

    Is it possible to have a keypress event for only one column of the datagridview?
