One way you can move to the next column when the user presses Enter is to subclass your DataGrid and override its ProcessKeyPreview method checking for the Enter key and swapping it for the Tab key.

Const WM_KEYDOWN As Integer = &H100

Protected Overrides Function ProcessKeyPreview(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) As Boolean
     Dim keyCode As Keys = CType(m.WParam.ToInt32(), Keys) And Keys.KeyCode

     If m.Msg = WM_KEYDOWN And keyCode = Keys.Enter Then
          m.WParam = New IntPtr(Keys.Tab)
     End If
     
     Return MyBase.ProcessKeyPreview(m)
End Function 'ProcessKeyPreview
