  Hi,

  I’m using flexgrid 5.20203.748 on angular 9.

  I need to implement different behaviors for a ‘delete’ keypress depending on the editing mode of the cell currently in focus.

  e.g: if the cell is not in edit mode, the ‘delete’ keypress should trigger function foo(), but if the cell is in edit mode, it should trigger function bar().

  i’, already catching the ‘delete’ keypress event, but I’m not sure how to distinguish between the 2 states.

  thanks,

  Nir

  Hi Nir,

  You may use the editRange property to check if a particular cell is being edited or not. Please refer to the following code snippet:

  /* check if the currently selected cell is being edited */
  function isEditing(grid, rowIndex, colIndex){
      return grid.editRange? grid.editRange.contains(rowIndex, colIndex): false;
  }
  var selection = grid.selection;
  var isEditing = isEditing(grid, selection.row, selection.col);
  

  Regards
