Steve,

To capture keypress event in a datagrid you should use the ProcessCmdKey
function.

for example:
Public Class MyDataGrid
  Inherits DataGrid

  Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As
System.Windows.Forms.Message, keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As
Boolean
        If msg.WParam.ToInt32() = CInt(Keys.Enter) Then
             SendKeys.Send("{Tab}")
             Return True
        End If

OR
        Const WM_KEYDOWN As Integer = &H100
        Const WM_SYSKEYDOWN As Integer = &H104
        If ((msg.Msg = WM_KEYDOWN) Or (msg.Msg = WM_SYSKEYDOWN)) Then
           Select Case (keyData)
              Case (Keys.Control Or Keys.M)
              Case (Keys.Alt Or Keys.Z)
              Case Keys.Delete
           End Select
        End If
          
        Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
   End Function 'ProcessCmdKey

End Class 'MyDataGrid
