ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING event can be used to block editing of a cell. I have a DataGrid Footer example on my blog.

I need the ability to "lock" certain cells so that they are not editable. I need to be able to tab between editable cells (this is the default behaviour) when navigating between cells, but be able to skip over locked (non-editable) cells. This should work both with Tab and alt-Tab to go backwards. As with a spreadsheet too - I need to be able to total columns. I am particularly having trouble getting the tab key functionality working. Has anyone else attempted something like this or can they point me in the direction of an existing component that may have this functionality? Thanks
