Oh Lord, it's that easy??? I was looking for something a bit more elaborate - and I must say, I would have NEVER thought of using -1 as my DataGrid index value. Is this a standard programming solution, in cases such as this???
Also, if a Row is selected & flagged as "editable" per my custom code (after the user clicks my "edit record" button), if the user clicks anywhere else on the DataGrid (which causes my itemClick function to set the DataGrid index to -1), will this cause a "change" event to get broadcast?? I am just curious, since -1 falls outside the bounds of the "zero-based" Array. And that question brings me to my next point, if the DataGrid does get set to -1, is it safe to say that when the user clicks in the "editable" Row, that a "change" event will get broadcast? Finally, if I wanted to forego the itemClick route and extend the DataGrid, and write an override function to halt the actual highlight of the Row, which function would that be, and which class file would that reside in? Thanks for your reply, and any additional information you can provide regarding this.

In your handler method simply perform your logic, and if the row should not be selected use dg.selectedIndex = -1.
