What is the best way to handle an action before going into edit mode or delete an item?
We have a situation that we need to request a lock before doing an edit action. In the OnEdit event I can cancel the edit and do an ajax call to request the lock. When I want to put the row into edit mode again, I can only use the EditRow function, which will trigger the event again.
What I actually need is an OnBeforeEdit function with the ability to cancel the action. The same for the delete functionality.
Is it possible to have these type of events or is there a better way to do it?
I can use custom buttons, but if I have events like OnBeforeEdit I can create much cleaner code.

Hello Michiel,

There is no such event for the time being. I am afraid that I cannot suggest any workaround apart from raising a flag whether the lock has been made already when handling the OnEdit event.

Thanks for the response.
Is it possible to include this functionality in a next release? Be able to do certain checks (locking, security etc) before actually going into edit mode can be a good addition to this already good grid.
I now have a solution in which the OnEdit hides the edit controls, performs an ajax call to set the lock and regarding the outcome shows the controls or performs a grid.cancel. While this works, it is better to not start the edit mode if not needed/allowed.
Please consider it for a next version.
