How to: Delete a Row When the CTRL+DEL Shortcut is Pressed

The following code deletes the focused row when the end-user presses the Ctrl+Del shortcut. To process key press events, we handle the BaseView.KeyDown event. The row is deleted by calling the ColumnView.DeleteRow method.

 

C#

    private void gridView1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) {

        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete && e.Modifiers == Keys.Control) {

            if (MessageBox.Show("Delete row?", "Confirmation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) !=

              DialogResult.Yes)

                return;

            GridView view = sender as GridView;               

            view.DeleteRow(view.FocusedRowHandle);

        }

    }

 

VB

    Private Sub GridView1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, _

      ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles GridView1.KeyDown

        If (e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete And e.Modifiers = Keys.Control) Then

            If (MessageBox.Show("Delete row?", "Confirmation", _

              MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) <> DialogResult.Yes) Then Return

            Dim view As GridView = CType(sender, GridView)

            view.DeleteRow(view.FocusedRowHandle)

        End If

    End Sub
