How to use Enter key as Tab key in DataGridView

Question

I have a DataGridView with 5 columns. If press Enter key in the first column, focus moves to next row. I want to move the focus to the next column when I press Enter key.

 private void dgvComp_CellEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
 {
    if (dgvComp.CurrentRow.Cells[e.ColumnIndex].ReadOnly)
    {
       SendKeys.Send("{tab}");

    }   
 }

In the above code I have columns 2,3 and 4 as read only columns. If I press Tab, focus should directly go to 5th column.

How can I do that?

Solution

would you pls try this solution

using System.Diagnostics;
class MyDataGridView : DataGridView
{

    protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData)
    {
        if (keyData == Keys.Enter) {
            base.ProcessTabKey(Keys.Tab);
            return true;
        }
        return base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData);
    }

    protected override bool ProcessDataGridViewKey(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) {
            base.ProcessTabKey(Keys.Tab);
            return true;
        }
        return base.ProcessDataGridViewKey(e);
    }
