Try This...

Private Sub Datagridview1_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles Datagridview1.EditingControlShowing
        Try
            If (Datagridview1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex = 2) Then
                set_flg = True
                Dim textBoxCell As TextBox = CType(e.Control, TextBox)
                AddHandler textBoxCell.KeyPress, AddressOf Me.textBoxCell_keyPress
                
            Else
                set_flg = False
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
        
    End Sub

    Public Sub textBoxCell_keyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs)
        Try
            If (set_flg = True) Then
                       If (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= 65 And Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) <= 90) Or (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) >= 97 And Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) <= 122) Or Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) = 46 Or Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) = 32 Or Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) = 8 Or Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) = 13 Then

                    e.Handled = False
                    lblmsg.Visible = False
                Else
                    lblmsg.Visible = True
                    lblmsg.Text = "Enter Character only"
                    e.Handled = True
                End If
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

Hi Bhagvat,
Iam able to enter only alphabets..

Just find the ASCII values for symbols which you don't want here
