I managed to implemented the functionality by listening for
itemEditBeginning events:
I mananged got hold of my current row in my dataprovider by calling:
var row : XML =
event.currentTarget.dataProvider.getItemAt(event.rowIndex);
By acessing the current row I could determine if the current cell was
allowed to be edited. If not changed the editedItemPosition on my grid
and prevented the default behavior:
event.currentTarget.editedItemPosition = {columnIndex:
alternativeColumn,rowIndex: event.rowIndex};
event.preventDefault();
