When the grid is in edit mode, I cannot get the Excel like editing to work. This works fine in read-only mode, as in your demo sample.
Once a cell has focus, it stays in there until I hit enter. Then I have to hit Enter again to move down.
I there a simple way around this behavior?

Hello davery921,
Thank you for posting in our forum.
You can set the edit mode action that triggers entering of edit mode to be on key press. You can do this from the CellEditing Behavior for example:
<ig:CellEditing>
<EditModeActions EnableOnKeyPress="True" />
</ig:CellEditing>
This will enter edit mode of the current active cell when you press a key and will directly enter the value in the cell. You can exit edit mode when you change the active cell in any way (tab or click on another cell). Other such properties that affect the action that triggers entering edit mode are: EnableF2, EnableOnActive, MouseClick.
Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns regarding this.

This is not what I would call Excel-like editing. Try entering a column of numbers on the keypad - at every entry you have to hit Enter to end editing mode, the Enter to go to the next cell. It is this double Enter key after every entry that makes columnar data entry very frustrating to the users.
You have a very good sample sheet available online that can be used to demonstrate the various EditModeActions, but none of them would I consider "Excel-like editing".
