Hi Alex, Yes, I am using that to block particular cells from being edited. When I click on a cell, this event fires and I can check the dataProvider to determine if this is a cell that should be non-editable and successfully prevent the cell from being editable by calling event.preventDefault.
The problem is if I am in an editable cell and then hit tab. If the next cell should be non-editable, this event fires, and I call event.preventDefault but the cell still becomes editable and the itemEditor displays. This only happens when tabbing to a cell that should be non-editable. It doesn't happen when you click on the cell. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING event can be used to block editing of a cell. > > I have a DataGrid Footer example on my blog. > > Alex Harui > Flex SDK Developer > Adobe Systems Inc.<http://www.adobe.com/> > Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On > Behalf Of flexcoder2008 > Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 9:44 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Flex datagrid with Excel-like behaviour > > > > In my application I am trying to create an Excel-type spreadsheet using a > DataGrid.
