WPF-DataGrid- Press Enter key go to next line

Question

I want to implement this for DataGrid in WPF, not DataGridView, such that whenever an Enter key is pressed, it would go to the next line, is it possible?

I see similar solution in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9674078/datagridview-when-i-press-enter-it-goes-to-the-next-cell, but it is for DataGridView.

How can I implement the same feature for my WPF DataGrid? thanks.

Hi Please use the below code snapshot private void dataGrid1_PreviewKeyDown(object sender KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Key == Key.Enter) { DataGridRow rowContainer = (DataGridRow)dataGrid1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(dataGrid1.CurrentItem); if (rowContainer != null) { DataGridCellsPresenter presenter = GetVisualChild (rowContainer); int columnIndex = dataGrid1.Columns.IndexOf(dataGrid1.CurrentColumn); DataGridCell cell = (DataGridCell)presenter.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(columnIndex); TraversalRequest request = new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next); request.Wrapped = true; cell.MoveFocus(request); rowContainer = (DataGridRow)dataGrid1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(dataGrid1.CurrentItem); dataGrid1.SelectedItem = dataGrid1.CurrentItem; e.Handled = true; dataGrid1.UpdateLayout(); } } } public static T GetVisualChild (Visual parent) where T : Visual { T child = default(T); int numVisuals = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent); for (int i = 0; i { Visual v = (Visual)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent i); child = v as T; if (child == null) { child = GetVisualChild (v); } if (child != null) { break; } } return child; } Thanks Pravin
