Edit Field in DataGrid on F2

Sometimes you want to give your DataGrid the ability to edit fields, while the original data in the field is highlighted. Normally, you can click on the field to start editing it. However, in case your users prefer to use the keyboard instead of the mouse, put this code in the grdDataGrid_KeyDown event:

 Private Sub grdDataGrid_KeyDown(KeyCode _	As Integer, Shift As Integer)	Select Case KeyCode		Case vbKeyF2			grdDataGrid.SelStart = 1			SendKeys "{End}"	End SelectEnd Sub
