I would like implement start editing cell in DataGridTemplateColumn with pressing 'text characters' (like http://www.devnewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms/topic5060.aspx) - like MS Excel.

DataGrid processes internal F2 keydown event and other specials like KeyDown, KeyUp etc.

I use event handlers: void dataGrid_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e){

if (!editing) {

if (IsTextKey(e.Key)) // for example A,B,C,D,... 1,2,3....

{

dataGrid.BeginEdit(); }

}

void dataGrid_PreparingCellForEdit(object sender, DataGridPreparingCellForEditEventArgs e) {

KeyEventArgs args = e.EditingEventArgs as KeyEventArgs;

KeyEventArgs is not null when I press F2, but is null when I press 'A', 'B', 'C' etc...

How can I catch which key causes start edition cell and copy letter/digit to Text of Textbox (in DataGrid Cell editing template) ?

I know this:

I must use

dataGrid.BeginEdit(e);

instead of dataGrid.BeginEdit(e);
