but yes it's logical but doesnt work...

There is a workaround for what you want.

Use the beforeCellEdit method to accomplish the requirement.

Implement this inside beforeCellEdit event of your jQgrid

Step1: Declare two variables, lastiRow & lastiCol

Step 2: use the saveCell method and save the old cell: 

jQuery("#gridId").saveCell(lastiRow, lastiCol);

Step2: assign the current iRow and iCol to lastiRow and lastICol

lastiCol=iCol; lastiRow=iRow;

So, whenever a cell is edited, we are saving the previously edited cell.  

Hope this helps

I need to be able to cancel a cell edit event...  if one cell is being editted, then another is clicked, I have to save the first one and abort the second one... I can't let the 2nd cell go into edit mode while the first one is still saving, since the the 2nd cell may be changed in the 1st cell's save event.

So, I just need to be able to return false in one of the cell edit events that happen when a cell is clicked on.

I have a scenario like, on click of a cell, based on some condition I should make the cell editable or non editable.

Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks,

Venkat
