After reading a suggestion in this forum, I tried to use beforeEditCell to detect the value of the conditionnal field. It will run a function that tests the conditionnal field and returns true or false. As follows:

var allowedit = true;

if ($.isFunction($t.p.beforeEditCell)) {

allowedit = $t.p.beforeEditCell($t.rows[iRow].id, nm, tmp, iRow, iCol);

}

if (allowedit) {

$(cc).html("").append(elc); ...............

}

The modifications are placed around line 85 in grid.celledit.js of version 3.4.

Can anyone see complications resulting from the change?

Thanks.

I am looking for a way to prevent the editCell functionality from working depending on the value of a different column on that row.

I am looking for a quick suggestion on how the value can be access from line 65 in celledit.js.

I believe that if another condition could be added to the if statement that converts a cell to an input the conversion could be prevented.

if ($t.p.colModel[iCol].editable === true && ed === true) {.....}

I've tried $t.p.getCell(3,2) but it did not work from this code point.

as in:

if ($t.p.colModel[iCol].editable === true && ed === true && $t.p.getCell(3,2) === true) {.....}

Thanks,
