The question says it all really. The important thing here is localisation.
If I press Shift + 2, I get a double quote " character, whereas on a US keyboard I'd end up with an at @ character.
So is there any mechanism that would convert Keys.Shift | Keys.Num2 correctly to " on my computer and @ on a US one?
Note: This isn't limited to the example given, ideally this solution would work for all sets of printable characters and combinations.

Widen your gaze
I assume this is in a KeyDown or KeyUp event? If you want the correct character, you should use the KeyPress event which has a KeyPressEventArgs that has a KeyChar property.

No, it's the ProcessDialogKey() overload.

Hi,
In my case is DataGridViewCell.KeyEntersEditMode(KeysEventArgs e). The idea is to hadle chars like '*', '\' and '+' for which I want a custom behavior.
Since DataGridViewCell.KeyEntersEditMode(KeysEventArgs e) is called from DataGridView.ProcessKeyEventArgs(ref Message m), perhaps an extended KeyEventArgs could provide the charcode for printable characters.
