How to use datagridview readonly cell

[Ground 0]

I need to make individual cells in a datagridview read-only. But at the initial level i want to make ReadOnly to 3 cells of Text Column only. user can add new row in it, but will not be able to edit rows. Can anyone show me some code of how I could bypass read only cells in DatagridView when pressing TAB key? Is this possible?

I don't want to set whole column as ReadOnly. The specified value when setting this property would cause the control to enter edit mode, but initialization of the editing cell value failed and either there is no handler for the DataError event. But only those cells of that column, which appears in dataset attached to it.

Overriding the SelectionChanged event is the right approach. The property CurrentCell can be used to set the current cell. You want something like this, A cell is read-only if the value of the ReadOnly property is true for the cell, the cell's row, the cell's column, or the DataGridView. If e.ColumnIndex = 0 AndAlso e.RowIndex < dgvOpCodes.RowCount - 1 Then e.Cancel = True I would expect I would not be able to type into the cell. If read-only was false, as it is in my control, I would expect to be able to get a cursor.

Based on my understanding, Inherit DataGridView and override ProcessDialogKey (for key pressed while editing)you have a DataGridView control bound to a data source and have set the ReadOnly property of a bound column in the DataGridView control to False. and ProcessDataGridViewKey (for key pressed while not editing). When Tab was pressed, set CurrentCell to the next non-readonly cell.
