Add cell/container info to grid beforeEdit event
The grid "beforeEdit" event is designed, as per documentation, "for preventing the editing depending on custom logic".

However, this event provides only information about the edited row, not cell, which severely limits what that logic can do.

A related event, "edit", passes information about the container, which is a table cell in incell mode. There is no reason for "beforeEdit" not to do the same - both event are triggered merely several lines apart.

Hello,

I am marking the current thread as declined due to the fact no further information has been provided. Furthermore, such functionality is readily available - columns.editable.

Hi,

The initial purpose for introducing the beforeEdit event of the grid is to allow the developer to prevent entering into edit mode or more specifically - before the "editable" object is created. Therefore, at the time the beforeEdit event is triggered, there are no editors or any elements inside the cell.

We can expose the "cell" that is currently in edit mode, however, it would not bring any additional information. Could you share more details on the exact scenario that you are willing to achieve so that we could investigate for possible solutions? Is the HTML element of the "cell" sufficient for your use-case?

Alternatively, we have introduced the "editable" property that serves a similar purpose:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/configuration/columns.editable

If you would like to access an editor or any rendered HTML inside the cell, make use of the "edit" event.

 

Best regards,

You're right. You can work around this by using the "edit" event, look at the container.index() as your cellIndex, and close the editor with this.closeCell(); you cannot event.preventDefault() because the editor is already created. You thankfully do not see the editor with this workaround.
