[PM312]

i have below code for my custom textbox to allow numeric chatecters for entering amount.

Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyPress(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs)
MyBase.OnKeyPress(e)

 If Asc(e.KeyChar) >= 48 And Asc(e.KeyChar) <= 57 Or _
Asc(e.KeyChar) = 46 Or _
Asc(e.KeyChar) = 13 Or _
Asc(e.KeyChar) = 8 Then
If Asc(e.KeyChar) = 46 Then
If InStr(1, Me.Text, ".") > 0 Then
e.Handled = True
End If
End If
Else
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub

You could try using the CellValidating Event

The main trouble is the datagridview keyPress event doesn't fire from inside the cell, and the cell doesn't have a keypress event. You're probably stuck with validating the cell upon leaving and return the focus if the input is invalid.

You could google "keydown event in datagridviewtextboxcell" and find lots of articles on the subject.
