Malcolm,

You can try to disable all the columns. I have some grids that I run with some of the columns disabled and some enabled in order to make the grid appear like AllowCellSelection is false for the non-editable columns, but true for the editable columns. There is one case where focus can get into a column and that is when a header is clicked and a resort is performed. I believe the framework is explicitly calling a SetFocus(). To overcome this, I simply kludge a

KEYBOARD '{LEFTARROW}{RIGHTARROW}' PLAIN CLEAR

in the AfterResort() method and the disabled columns won't receive focus.

HTH,
Chad

If I click to another record, then return to the first record everything is fine. This doesn't happen frequently, but often enough to get complaints from my users who are naturally confused by this behavior. Note that this behavior is not limited to the first click in the grid - sometimes it occurs later but this is more rare.
