I am using the itemEditBeggining event and when the event gets triggered I call the event.preventDefault() method if the cell should not be edited. The problem with this approach is that the tab functionality doesn't work. I am attaching a snippet of code from the adobe site from where I used this approach. Here is the link too if you want to play with the example datagrid. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=celleditor_8.htm l <http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=celleditor_8.ht ml> Do you folks have an idea about how to make tab work in the datagrid? so it skips the cell that shouldn't be edited and jumps to the next cell that can be edited? Any suggestions or ideas on this will be highly appreciated.
