Keep in mind that, if the user scrolls, or clicks outside the DG, there is no way to prevent the edit session from ending (at least not without a whole bunch of work). I just took a look at the code. When tabbing from one cell to another, preventDefault() on itemEditEnd should keep the editor alive. If you put together a small test case I can try to see why it doesn't work.

I've also established that setting editedItemPosition creates a new item editor (as I would expect), so I can't store and access a "valid" flag in the item editor component. Is there some other way to prevent an invalid field from losing focus? Or to restart the edit with the invalid value and have it re-validate?

I wish to prevent the edit from ending if the data is valid. When tabbing, the following works in column one, but not in column two (the last editable column): private function handleItemEditEnd(event : DataGridEvent) : void { if (event.itemRenderer.data.valid) { // do some stuff } else { event.preventDefault(); } Any ideas? Also, does the renderer get any access to this event? If I want to move "valid" from the data to the renderer itself, I suppose I would have to cast event.itemRenderer above to my renderer type, and call a method or access a property. Thanks.
