IDataGridViewEditingControl::EditingControlWantsInputKey Method (Keys, Boolean)
Determines whether the specified key is a regular input key that the editing control should process or a special key that the DataGridView should process.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Parameters
- keyData
-
Type:
System.Windows.Forms::Keys
A Keys that represents the key that was pressed.
- dataGridViewWantsInputKey
-
Type:
System::Boolean
true when the DataGridView wants to process the Keys in keyData; otherwise, false.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the specified key is a regular input key that should be handled by the editing control; otherwise, false.
An editing control implements this method to determine which input keys should be processed by the control, and which input keys should be processed by the DataGridView.
The EditingControlWantsInputKey method is called by the DataGridView. The DataGridView will pass in true for dataGridViewWantsInputKey when it can process the keyData. If the editing control can let the DataGridView handle the keyData, EditingControlWantsInputKey should return false when dataGridViewWantsInputKey is true. Other implementations of EditingControlWantsInputKey may ignore a dataGridViewWantsInputKey value of true and handle the keyData in the editing control.
The following code example provides an implementation of this member. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells.
