<h5 id="C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_KeyDownEdit_remarks"><strong>Remarks</strong></h5>
<div class="markdown level0 remarks"><p>The <b>KeyDownEdit</b> event corresponds to the <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.control.keydown">KeyDown</a> event, 
except it fires when the grid is in edit mode (in this case, the control that received the 
key is the editor, not the grid itself).</p>
<p>The editor has three modes: text, drop-down combo, or drop-down list. The mode used is 
determined by the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.ComboList.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ComboList">ComboList</a> properties in the grid and column objects.</p>
<p>While editing with the text editor or with a drop-down combo, you may set or retrieve 
the contents of the editor by retrieving the editor control with the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.Editor.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_Editor">Editor</a> 
property and casting it to the proper type.</p>
