Remarks

The EnterMoveNextColumn option defines the ENTER key behavior when a cell editor is active. If set to false, pressing the ENTER key results in closing the editor saving changes made. Otherwise, the ENTER key press additionally moves focus to the next row cell and activates its editor. Note that focus is moved even if the next cell cannot be edited.

Note

When using memo editors, consider setting their AcceptReturn property to false to allow using this feature. Otherwise, the ENTER key is processed by the editor.

Note

Setting the EnterMoveNextColumn option does not work for the New Item Row.
