Hello mburk2 ,

You can manually force a cell in edit mode using the enterEditMode method of the cell editing behavior. For example:

   var editing=    sender.get_behaviors().get_editingCore().get_behaviors().get_cellEditing();

   editing.enterEditMode(cell);

To enter edit mode on the initial load you can handle the Initialize event and in it enter edit mode for the first cell. For example:

  function wdg_init(sender,e) {

        var firstCell = sender.get_rows().get_row(0).get_cell(0);

        var editing=    sender.get_behaviors().get_editingCore().get_behaviors().get_cellEditing();

        editing.enterEditMode(firstCell);

        editedCell = firstCell;

    }

By default on “Enter” key the cell exits edit mode. In order to force it to enter edit mode for the next cell you can handle the key down event and change the current edited cell programmatically. For example:

   function wdg_keyDown(sender,e) {

        if (e.get_browserEvent().keyCode == 13) {

       //check if Enter key has been hit

            var editing = sender.get_behaviors().get_editingCore().get_behaviors().get_cellEditing();

            var currentCellInEditMode = editedCell;

            var cellIndex=currentCellInEditMode.get_index();

             var nextCell;

            if(cellIndex+1<sender.get_columns().get_length()) {

            //check whether this is the last cell for the column

            nextCell = currentCellInEditMode.get_row().get_cell(cellIndex+1);           

            }

            else {

            //if it's the last cell move to the next row

            var nextRow=sender.get_rows().get_row(currentCellInEditMode.get_row().get_index()+1);

            nextCell=nextRow.get_cell(0);

            }

        editing.enterEditMode(nextCell);

        editedCell = nextCell;

        }

    }

Please refer to the attached sample and let me know if you have any questions.
