Setting CurrentCell in DGV in CellEndEdit event ignores RowIndex

[sklett]

I have a 2 column DGV. When a user enters a value in cell 0,0 I want to set
cell 0,1 as current, when they enter a value in cell 0,1 I want to set cell
1,0 current, etc, etc

basically zig-zagging down the rows from left to right.
I'm calling this method below in my CellEndEdit event:
private void AdvanceCellFocus(DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex == 0)
{
dataGridView_SerialNumberLinks.CurrentCell =
dataGridView_SerialNumberLinks[e.ColumnIndex + 1, e.RowIndex];
}
else
{
if (e.RowIndex < dataGridView_SerialNumberLinks.Rows.Count)
{
dataGridView_SerialNumberLinks.CurrentCell =
dataGridView_SerialNumberLinks[e.ColumnIndex - 1, e.RowIndex
+ 1];
}
}
}

The result is this:
- Data entered into cell 0,0
- AdvanceCellFocus() called and sets cell 0,1 as current
- when control returns to the UI, cell 1,1 is current.

So the problem appears to be that the default behavior of advancing a row
upon completing an edit operation is still happening. I'm not finding a way
to deal with it.

Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks for reading,

Basically suggest suppressing the enter key event, but that will also
prevent EditMode from committing and saving the data.

I think my new, refined question is: How to prevent DGV from advancing to
next row when 'entering' out of edit mode?

I found the solution. I needed to subclass the DGV to get to the key events
when in edit mode.
