WantReturn

If set to TRUE the edit control will treat a RETURN as a normal carriage return character. This is useful with multiline edit boxes where RETURN is required to mark the end of a paragraph. It can also allow RETURN to be returned by a Char() event. This is a design time only property that has no effect if changed under program control.

Grid

If set to TRUE the edit control in a grid cell will treat a RETURN as a normal carriage return character. It can also allow RETURN to be returned by a Char() event.

If the cell is not editable, but has focus, and .WantReturn is TRUE then a click and a double click event will be generated if RETURN is pressed. A single click event will be generated for SPACE. This permits a keyboard only simulation of a mouse.

This is a design time only property that has no effect if changed under program control. It applies to the whole grid and cannot be applied to individual cells in isolation.
