Selectively turning off cell editing based on the row record

[lesterleong]

Is there a way to selectively turn off cell editing for specific columns, based on the row record? For example if the row's record ID is 52, then columns B, C and E cannot be edited, etc.

I do see that there might be a way to do this by subclassing the Column class and overriding canEdit(), but I'd really want to avoid this, if possible.

It's possible in our coming release, so if you have a license you can download our '-next' nightly build and use it. Look for beforeCellEditStart event:

/**
             * Fires on the owning Grid before editing starts, return `false` to prevent editing
             * @event beforeCellEditStart
             * @preventable
             * @param {Grid.view.Grid} source Owner grid
             * @param {Object} editorContext Editing context
             * @param {Grid.column.Column} editorContext.column Target column
             * @param {Common.data.Model} editorContext.record Target record
             * @param {HTMLElement} editorContext.cell Target cell
             * @param {*} editorContext.value Cell value
             */
