Shortcuts not working when grid is readonly

[Shravan]

Hi All,
I am working with Windows Forms DataGrid.

I am suffering with the problem described in Knowledge
base article.

815252 - Form Key Events Are Not Raised When You Type in a
DataGrid Cell with the KeyPreview Property Set to True

Can anybody tell me whether there is any workaround for it.

When my grid is read-only, no shortcut keys in my form
work when I press them while focus in grid.

Thanks in Advance,
Shravan.

Shravan,

Unfortunately not. When a workaround is available, the knowledge base
article should be updated, or a new one will be published.

Hope this helps.

But the last post in the above thread says that there is a
workaround, and he found it in Knowledge Base

Thanks Steve,

After some search on knowledge base i found two articles
about this:
One describing this behavior
One with a workaround

I could not communicate with him since that's a dummy
address.

I searched KB, but could not find the workaround. so,
posted so that anybody out there could help me.

Shravan,

Unfortunately, I can only find one. I would have emailed the poster of
that message, but the email address looks pretty fake. If I can find
anything, I will let you know, but I think that the poster might have been
mistaken.

Somebody from Microsoft has to give a workaround for it.

Waiting for their reply...
