UPDATE:

While experimenting, I noticed that when I use columntype: 'datetimeinput' it works as expected (meaning createeditor is only called once), but when I use columntype: 'textbox' then createeditor fires every single time I go into edit mode. Perhaps a defect with textbox?

So if createeditor is called once then why am I getting the following javascript console output when I run the sample code?

createeditor
initeditor
createeditor
initeditor
createeditor
initeditor

Excellent, just what I was looking for!

I do have a couple of quick follow-up questions on this portion of your code:

var initeditor = function (row, cellvalue, editor, celltext, pressedChar) {
                if (pressedKey == '-') {
                    editor.val('-');
                    setTimeout(function () {
                        editor[0].setSelectionRange(1, 1);
                    }, 100);
                }
                pressedKey = null;
            };

1) why use setTimeout() instead of just setting the editor’s value?
2) why use editor[0].setSelectionRange(1, 1); instead of editor.setSelectionRange(1, 1);? Why is the index [0] needed?

Thanks again.
