opening another window on press of enter button in datagridview

I have on large grid of data about 25000 rows. [Windows Application]

In that i am trying to implement functionality like, when i press enter key i can open new window. In that new window i am showing data for the record for which i pressed enter button in terms of text boxes and labels. But unfortunately i did not found any relative event for that. when i press enter button active selected row moves to the next record.

I also want to know if there is any functionality such that when i load the window[Grid] by default first record should get selected.

I have tried different events such as

 private void gvTradeFile_RowEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            splitPopUp objSplit = new splitPopUp();
            objSplit.Show();
        }

Not Worked.

private void gvTradeFile_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            splitPopUp objSplit = new splitPopUp();
            objSplit.Show();
        }

This also not worked.

I refered http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/6a73013f-4440-4d45-a322-63c4cae1bb39/ this link but got nothing out of it.

Is there any idea related to implementing this functionality?

You need to handle grid's KeyDown event:

private void gvTradeFile_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
    {
        var row = dataGridView1.CurrentRow; // retreive the current row
        // show the form
        // ...
    }
}

The Enter event occurs when keyboard focus enters into the grid, and RowEnter event occurs when a row receives input focus. These events have no relation to the Enter key.
