BUG: programmatic editmode not respected

[pkParticipant]

As per the documentation “‘programmatic’ – Cell editors are activated and deactivated ONLY through the API(see begincelledit and endcelledit methods)”
So, if I set this, I expect the grid to stop editing only when I tell it to.
However, cell editing stops whenever you click anywhere.

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5xqjtaz2/
Double click on a cell to begin editing, and then click the button “Click me”. Cellediting stops.

Hi pk,

Editing always ends when you click outside the editor. This is a mistake in the description of the “programmtic” mode in the docs.

Hello Peter,
In my opinion, this shouldn’t happen. Consider this (my scenario):
A column is set to “custom”, with custom cell editor and rendering. I’ve implemented all three needed functions (cellsrenderer, createeditor, getEditorValue). As soon as I trigger cell editing, I display a popup. This popup needs a series of clicks to select the final value that will go into the cell. But I can’t do that, because once I click something, cellendediting triggers.

It’s a simple fix: on the “mousedown.gridedit” handler, you already check if grid is editable, and if grid has triggered begincelledit.
If you also check that the editmode is NOT programmatic, it’s fixed.

Like this (jqxgrid.js):

e.addHandler(b(document), "mousedown.gridedit" + e.element.id, function(m) {
if (e.editable && e.begincelledit && (e.editmode!="programmatic")) {

Anyway, that’s just my 2 cents.
