Public Class DataGridViewBase
    Inherits DataGridView

    'Either:
    Public Sub DataGridViewBase()
        AddHandler CellEnter, AddressOf CellEntered
    End Sub

    Protected Sub CellEntered(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
        Dim dgv As DataGridView = DirectCast(sender, DataGridView)
        If dgv.CurrentCell.ReadOnly Then

        End If
    End Sub

    'Or:

    Protected Overrides Sub OnCellEnter(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
        If CurrentCell.ReadOnly Then

        End If
        'etc
        MyBase.OnCellEnter(e)
    End Sub
End Class

(Hope I got the VB syntax right.....)BTW the handler code could probably be simplified:

If CurrentCell.ReadOnly Or ColumnDisabled(e.ColumnIndex) Then
        SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
 End If
