End users can use the Arrows, Tab, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down keys and the mouse to move focus between cells and rows.

Specify the DataViewBase.EnterMoveNextColumn property to change the Enter key behavior:

• false (default) - the Enter press opens/closes the focused cell’s in-place editor and saves changes;
• true - the Enter press closes the focused cell’s in-place editor (if active) and saves changes, moves focus to the next cell and activates its editor.
