Yes you can. If ondblClickRow handler is defined like this, it should work:

function editRow(rowId, rowIndex, columnIndex) {
var grid = $('#mygrid');
grid.editRow(rowId, true, function() {
    var colModel = grid.getGridParam('colMode');
    var colName = colModel[colIndex].name;
    var input = $('#' + rowId + '_' + colName);
    input.get(0).focus();
});
}

The only tricky part here is to get column name based on column index, because ondbClickRow doesn't include column name directly.

Hi everyone!

I am currently using a very wide grid (a lot of horizontal overflow) and its quite annoying that when I want to edit one of the columns in the far right part of the grid and I double click the row to make it editable (inline edit), the cell to gain focus is the first within the row making the whole grid to scroll to the left.

I have seen that the onDblclick event handler receives the row and the column of the clicked cell as parameters. Is there any way we can use those parameters to set the focus on that cell? This is driving me crazy...

Thanks so much 🙂
