Description

Supplements the inherited method to drive the dataset into edit mode when the user presses Del or Shift+Insert.

KeyDown first calls the inherited method, which calls the OnKeyDown event handler. KeyDown next attempts to put the dataset into an editing state when the user types Del or Shift+Insert. Derived classes can override KeyDown to handle additional key combinations, but the inherited method should always be called.

Note: Applications cannot call this protected method directly. It is called automatically in response to Windows events.
