    The used Grid has the selection mode ‘singlerow’ and the edit mode ‘selectedcell’.
    When the user types valid values into the cells of a selected row, then the navigation by pressing the Tab key works fine.
    If an invalid value is typed, then a popup shows a message with the feedback message, as long as the new typed value is invalid. This is in my opinion very good. When a valid value was typed, the editor of that cell will be closed only by pressing the return key (or escape key and in this case the old valid value remains displayed). The problem is that the focus within the row gets lost. The user must click on the next right cell, to edit the cell, also the in-place editing functionality is not available any more.
    Is this the normal functionality? Have I made a mistake by implementing?
    Can tell me anybody, please, how can I change this behavior?
    It is very important for me to make this to work.
    Please, please help.
    Thanks a lot in advance!!

    Hi reggaeone13,

    When the cell is validated and the editing is confirmed, the value will be saved(when enter is pressed) or cancelled(when esc is pressed). The result will be a closed editor and new or old cell value. The Grid will not be in edit mode after that so to begin editing, you will have to click again on the cell you want to edit. It will not work with “Tab” unless the cell is already in edit mode. The described behavior is built-in and unfortunately it cannot be modified through API.
