Hi You can try this code.. int colindex; string sSelectedVal = string.Empty; string ColName = string.Empty; private void dataGridView2_KeyDown(object sender KeyEventArgs e) { foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in dataGridView2.SelectedCells) { sSelectedVal = cell.Value.ToString(); colindex = cell.ColumnIndex; ColName = dataGridView2.Columns[colindex].Name; } if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F3) { string sUseThisVal = sSelectedVal; int iUseThisIndex = colindex; string sUseNameVal=ColName; //............... //Here your command.......... } }

Perhaps you can use the DataGridView . SelectedColumns Property. Also it might be logical to support selection of just one column for this. So if the DataGridView . SelectedColumns.Count Property is not 1 then ignore the F3 key.
