Tabbing on Grid?

Hi All,

First of great grid component!

I would like to ask a few questions regarding the deployment of the grid if you dont mind!?

1. If i have a grid with 5 columns; having the first 3 as readonly and the last 2 as simple editors. Can i using the tab move from column 4 and 5 and after that go directly to the next row on column 4 and 5? Currently the tabbing is working but it moves from Cell to Cell even though they are read only?

2. How can i center the checkboxes on a cell?

Thanks for your time and help

In current version such behaviour can't be controled by API ( we planing to add tab order in oncoming version )
In current version it can be done by next code adjustment.

The grid has next functions
    _getPrevCell
    _getNextCell
to detect next,prev cell while tabbing

As fast solution you can locate next code
      if (acell.style.display!="none")
         return acell;
      return  this._getNextCell(acell);

and replace it with
      if ((acell.style.display!="none")&&(!this.cells4(acell).isDisabled()))
         return acell;
      return  this._getNextCell(acell);

>>How can i center the checkboxes on a cell?

a) you can center whole column with checkboxes
    grid.setColAlign(...
