close editor

Hi

i have some code in the oneditcell event, and i have noticed that if the user clicks the tab button to go the the next cell then it opens the editor for that cell (e.g if the next cell is a combo then it drops that combo down). however i dont want it to go to the next cell and enter the edit mode if i am doing some processing in the oneditcell event

so, is there a way i can close the editor? i will do this on the oneditcell event i am doing the processing.

or is there a way to set the selected cell? and if i do this will it cause any editor (such as dropped down combo)to close when i select the new cell?

thanks

Normally it can be done - by
      grid.editStop(); 
but the onEditCell occurs before new cell switched to editable state, so you may need to use 

window.setTimeout(function(){
         grid.editStop();
},1);

Selection of new cell will close currently active editor , can be done by 
    grid.selectCell(...
or selectRow, selectRowById commands
