Anthon, i think you have 2 ways of doing this: attach an onclick event to each cell, and use js to change it into an input, and on the onblur for this input save the data. The other one would be to use template colums with input tags from the begining, maybe hide the borders so they won’t look like inputs, and use an update button to save all the changes. (I know this is a late response, but better late then never, right? :))

I am trying to do something similar with no joy. Like using excel when you click on a cell you can edit at that specific point rather than going to the edit window. In the data grid how do you monitor the mouse click to mouse position to where you need to switch on the editing cursor? I’d appreciate any assistance….This is killing me.
