That makes no sense at all. Why do you want the cell to be put into edit mode if you don't want to allow the user to do any editing?

If it enters editing mode...why would you allow that if the user may not enter anything? Do you maybe think that user may not enter letters, but only numbers (or other characters)? Describe a bit better what you need. Thank you.

That's not a good solution form a user perspective - think about it: If you provides a facility where it looks like the user can type then you are going to confuse and annoy him if he can't actually do it.

You can probably do it by handling the individual Cell keyboard events, but...nasty from a use point of view. Very nasty.

I'd make the whole thing read only myself.
