DataGridView.StandardTab Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the TAB key moves the focus to the next control in the tab order rather than moving focus to the next cell in the control.

public bool StandardTab { get; set; }

Property Value

true if the TAB key moves the focus to the next control in the tab order; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Setting this property to false allows the TAB key to move the focus through the grid of cells. The following table describes how the cell focus changes when the given TAB key combinations are pressed.

Key combination Result
TAB If the StandardTab property is false, the focus moves to the next cell in the row. If the focus is in the last cell in the row, the focus moves to the first cell in the next row. If the focus is in the last cell in the DataGridView, the focus moves to the next control in the tab order.
SHIFT+TAB If StandardTab is false, the focus moves to the previous cell in the row. If the focus is in the first cell in the row, the focus moves to the last cell in the previous row. If the focus is in the first cell in the DataGridView, the focus moves to the previous control in the tab order.
CTRL+TAB The focus moves to the next control in the tab order.
