I have a reportcontrol which I'm using as an editable grid - Is it possible to use the tab key to advance onto the next "cell"?

Prior to the edit begining it is possible to intercept key strokes via KeyDown() events, but once the edit begins I cant seem to find a way of getting notifications...

Any ideas?

Something like:


Private Sub wndReportControl_PreviewKeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, Cancel As Boolean)
    If KeyCode = vbKeyTab Then
        wndReportControl.Navigator.MoveRight
    End If
End Sub

should help...

Thanks for the tip!

Just as a followup.... I was using 9.81 which did not have the KeyDownPreview event, so i finally I made the switch to 10.3.1

Once using 10.3.1, I found that pressing the tab key never caused the event to fire - the report control just lost focus when it was pressed.

I managed to get the event to fire for TAB by setting the "TabStop" property for the other controls on my form to false (I only had 2 so no problem there!) - now I can detect the tab key and move to the next cell.
