Capturing "Enter" key event in C# windows application

Mar 8th, 2007

I have created an aplication in C# windows application version 1.1 to display some records in a datagrid.
The datasource of the datagrid is datatable and not any database.I want tht when we edit any cell of a particular column
and press "Enter" it should show a Message Box let's say "the cell is edited."
I wrote this but its not working
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyValue.ToString()=="Enter")
{
// When the user presses both the 'Alt' key and 'F' key,
// KeyPreview is set to False, and a message appears.
// This message is only displayed when KeyPreview is set to True.
this.KeyPreview = false;
MessageBox.Show("KeyPreview is True, and this is from the FORM.");
}
}
Can anybody have any idea?

Hey, do you mean something like this?

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
private void [your data grid name](object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyChar == 13)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Enter pressed", "Attention");                
            }
        }
private void [your data grid name](object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyChar == 13)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Enter pressed", "Attention");                
            }
        }

How does that work?
