DataGrid key press question

[James]

1. up/down arrow keys to move up/down one recored at a time
2. Page Up/Down keys to move up/down one page at a time
3. CTRL+End and CTRL+Home keys to move to end and beginning(last
record and first record) of the datagrid respectively

code for page down:


public class Myform : System.Windows.Forms.Form, IMessageFilter
{
const int WM_KEYDOWN = 0x100;
const int WM_KEYUP = 0x101;


[DllImport("User32.dll")]
private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg , int
wParam, int lParam);


public const int SBS_HORZ = 0;
public const int SBS_VERT = 1;
public const int SBS_CTL = 2;
public const int SBS_BOTH = 3;

public const int WM_VSCROLL = 0x115;
public const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x114;

public const int SB_LINEUP = 0;
public const int SB_LINEDOWN = 1;
public const int SB_PAGEUP = 2;
public const int SB_PAGEDOWN = 3;
public const int SB_THUMBPOSITION = 4;
public const int SB_THUMBTRACK = 5;
public const int SB_TOP = 6;
public const int SB_BOTTOM = 7;
public const int SB_ENDSCROLL = 8;


public bool PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
{

Keys keyCode = (Keys)(int)m.WParam & Keys.KeyCode;

if(m.Msg == WM_KEYDOWN && keyCode == Keys.PageDown)
{
int position = 500;

SendMessage(dataGrid1.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_THUMBPOSITION +
0x10000 * position,0);

return true;
}
}
}

Nothing is happening, does any one have any sample code to handle the
above mentioned events(1,2,3).

Thanks

James,

You must add the message filter to the application class in the form load
event

//add message filter.
Application.AddMessageFilter(this); //this= the form where IMessageFilter
is implemented

Yes I have already done that,(I did not include those parts of code).

The problem is when I want to scroll the data grid on that form. Other
functions work fine.

foe example,

if(m.Msg == WM_KEYDOWN && keyCode == Keys.F1)
{
dv.Sort = "by some column";

return true;
}

these work fine, it only does not work for scroll.

I just wanted to find out if there was anything wrong with

int position = 500;

SendMessage(dataGrid1.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_THUMBPOSITION + 0x10000 *
position,0);


Thanks
