Enter key moves focus to next row; first editable cell.

How can I most efficiently set up a grid so that pressing enter will move focus the next row, first editable cell?

    Here is a code sample that demonstrates how to add a custom key-action mapping, and how to use the PerformAction method to do what you described here. Note that this is not necessarily a robust solution to your specific problem, but rather demonstrates some of the approaches you can take.

    //  Add a mapping that activates the next row
    this.ultraGrid.KeyActionMappings.Add(
        new GridKeyActionMapping(
            Keys.Enter,
            UltraGridAction.NextRow,
            0,
            UltraGridState.Row,
            SpecialKeys.All,
            0) );

    //  Handle AfterPerformAction, and enter edit mode on the first cell
    //  after the 'NextRow' action is performed.
    AfterUltraGridPerformActionEventHandler handler =
    delegate( object sender, AfterUltraGridPerformActionEventArgs args )
    {
        if ( args.UltraGridAction == UltraGridAction.NextRow )
        {
            this.ultraGrid.ActiveRow.Cells[0].Activate();
            this.ultraGrid.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode);
        }
    };

    this.ultraGrid.AfterPerformAction += handler;
