I am working on putting together a proof of concept to provide an excel-like grid where the user can enter in all of the information first, add as many rows as needed, then save, etc. I have a prototype of that now, but there are two columns which allow large text entries. So when a user is typing in the grid and tabbing through, for basic fields (small text fields, numeric, dates, etc) this is fine, but when they get to the large text fields, they need more real-estate to view and enter data and would like to use the HTML Editor. Using the HTMLEditor in place doesn't look so nice, distorts the rows and columns, and they can't tab out of it to the next field. I would rather provide a link or button which will then popup an HTMLEditor (similar to Edit mode being set to popup, but only for those fields, and if the user hits the link/button to do so, either by clicking or hitting the Enter key when focus is on it).  Can this be done, and if so, what would be the best approach to handle this scenario?

Silly me. I found a great example of how to do this with one of their online demos: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandwindow/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid
