Question
how enter key will work as tab key in datagridview control in vb.net

Answer
you need to bind javascript to each text control in the datagridview to actually shift the focus to next control on keypress event.

On DataGrid's Databind or RowCreated event you can write:

Grid1.Rows(e.RowIndex).FindControl("text1").attributes("onkeypress")="setFocus('" & Grid1.Rows(e.RowIndex).FindControl("text2").clientid & "')"
Grid1.Rows(e.RowIndex).FindControl("text2").attributes("onkeypress")="setFocus('" & Grid1.Rows(e.RowIndex).FindControl("text3").clientid & "')"
....

You will have to repeate the above line for each textbox that you have expect the last one unless you want to execute some action that as well.

also the setFocus() javascript function you should ask for in javascript section, you would basically need to check if the enter key was pressed, if it was then set the focus to the control name passed to the function as a parameter.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Riz
