Dirty.  We would need to maintain a list of currently visible columns and their indexes.  The tricky part is to invoke "tab" on the next row if the rest of columns are non-editable.  There aren't any internal api calls that will do this for us?  :)

I'll find it!  Yes I know we can't rely on it across updates and service updates.

I agree on that :-)

Hi,

If I can provide you with any further assistance, please let me know.

Not sure how we are going to cover this requirement yet.  I'll need to play around with it.  I'll have more details the moment we have something.  Until then, I guess I'll need to create a feature request.

I've added a new feature:

http://ideas.infragistics.com/forums/211535-ignite-ui/suggestions/8962882-tab-to-next-available-row-when-celleditstarting-ev

We solved this issue until the new feature requests becomes available.

// The important thing to remember is NOT TO RETURN FALSE.  You
// must let the execution continue to "STARTED" event.
$(.selector).on("iggridupdatingeditcellstarting", function (e, ui) {
    
    var canEdit = true;  // Your condition goes here

    if (canEdit) {
        return true;
    }

    var event = {
        e: e,
        ui: ui
    };

    $(.selector).one("iggridupdatingeditcellstarted", $.proxy(function (e, ui) {
        if (this.ui !== ui) {
            return;  // Not the same event - some other subscriber cancelled the "STARTING" event.
        }

        var editor = $(ui.editor).data("igEditor");

        editor.options.keydown({  // 9 === TAB KEY
            which: 9,
            key: 9,
            keyCode: 9,
            target: ui.editor,
            shiftKey: false  // You'll need logic to capture this to natively traverse between fields
        });
    }, event)); // Proxy this event with the original event
});
